Thanks montano for your tutorial!
I have tried and it works partially!
Here is what I have done:
*******************************
* Assume:
1. Joomla: Joomla_1.0.12-Full_Package(Chinese-Beta1).tar.gz
2. addons: VirtueMart_1.0.10-COMPLETE_PACKAGE.zip
3. addons: G2 bridge v2.0.14beta (com_gallery2_v2.0.14_beta.zip & com_joomlalib_1_3_1.zip) + update patch
4. 3rd party application: Gallery2 v2.2.1 (gallery-2.2.1-full.tar.gz)
* Suppose your site is originally hosted here:
* program directory: /home/mysite01/public_html/mac
* database name: mysite01_mac [Note: Don't forget to record down dbase user name and password]
-> Here you back up the program directory and database
* and will be moved to another hosting company with:
* program directory: /home/mysite02/public_html/mac
* database name: mysite02_mac
-> Here you re-store the program directory and database
* the 3rd step: Update the configuration file "configuration.php" to reflect new settings as follows:
line06: $mosConfig_absolute_path = '/home/mysite02/public_html/mac';
line10: $mosConfig_cachepath = '/home/mysite02/public_html/mac/cache';
line13: $mosConfig_db = 'mysite02_mac'; // i.e. dbase name
line69: $mosConfig_user = 'mysite02_mac'; // i.e. dbase user name
//*** If domain name also changed to
http://mysite02.com , you need to change also:
line29: $mosConfig_helpurl = 'http://www.mysite02.com';
line44: $mosConfig_live_site = 'http://www.mysite02.com/mac';
line47: $mosConfig_mailfrom =
'admin@mysite02.com';
* Step4: check all the Joomla addons if server path or URL needs to be updated:
* e.g. Virtuemart's settings:
* In Joomla Admin backend,
* go "components" -> "Virtuemart"
* then go "admin" -> "configuration" -> "Path & URL"
-> update the "SECUREURL" to:
http://www.mysite02.com/mac/ -> then click the "Downloads" tab
-> update the "DOWNLOADROOT" to: /home/mysite02/public_html/mac/
*************************************************
all the above works, until I start updating
G2 bridge to make it works in the new site, "mysite02"!
-> I tried to edit manually or using the wizard of G2 bridge to update the G2 server path and URL, both get it correctly:
Gallery 2 Path: /home/mysite02/public_html/macg2/embed.php
Gallery 2 Url:
http://www.mysite02.com/macg2/-> what I get is just a "
blank page" when I click on the new links I created to link the G2 bridge component!
-> I have checked that the standalone Gallery2 is working!
Any ideas what's wrong?
Do you think re-installing Joomla will solve the problem?
Thanks for any kind of help!
Rgds,
