Migrating to new host
I’m new to Textpattern, but I’ve been assigned the task of moving an existing site to a new host. I’ve got Textpattern installed and the database moved. I can log into the admin panel and see all the content, users, etc. But, when I try to view the live site, I get the following:
Warning: include(/srv/www/htdocs/a/textpattern/lib/class.trace.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/www/htdocs/a/index.php on line 85
Warning: include(): Failed opening ‘/srv/www/htdocs/a/textpattern/lib/class.trace.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php5/PEAR’) in /srv/www/htdocs/a/index.php on line 85
Fatal error: Class ‘Trace’ not found in /srv/www/htdocs/a/index.php on line 86
And, I’m at a loss as to what I need to do next. Any advice? Thanks!!

Re: Migrating to new host
You might want to start by ensuring that you uploaded the Textpattern install correctly? There is a class.trace.php file in the /textpattern/lib/ folder..

Re: Migrating to new host
That file is missing.
When I’m in the admin console, the Pre-Flight Check, shows $path_to_site is inaccessible, and I see that the path given is that of the old server.
Where is that variable set?

Re: Migrating to new host
I’m slowly whittling away at the errors in the Pre-Flight check. Below is what I’m left with. At this point, the home page of the site will load, but no other pages.
Pre-flight check
DNS lookup failed: al****.com ? (I have my local hosts file pointing to the local VM I’m working with)
Some Textpattern files have been modified:
/srv/www/htdocs/a/index.php,
/srv/www/htdocs/a/textpattern/include/txp_auth.php,
/srv/www/htdocs/a/textpattern/include/txp_diag.php,
/srv/www/htdocs/a/textpattern/include/txp_image.php,
/srv/www/htdocs/a/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php,
/srv/www/htdocs/a/rpc/index.php,
/srv/www/htdocs/a/rpc/TXP_RPCServer.php ?
Site URL preference might be incorrect: 192.168.0.181/a ?
Clean URL test failed. ?

Did your FTP app leave out the .htaccess file? Or maybe you drag-transferred with a Mac (files beginning with a dot are hidden on Macs).
Some Textpattern files have been modified:
Added Missed that one: Transfer these files once again. Try a different FTP app if it fails again.

Re: Migrating to new host
Well, I upgraded to the latest textpattern and I’m down to just a single warning:
Pre-flight check
Clean URL test failed.
Here’s the .htaccess file as shown in the diagnostic window:
.htaccess file contents:
------------------------
# BEGIN Textpattern
#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes
#ErrorDocument 403 default
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
#php_value register_globals 0
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddType image/svg+xml svg svgz
AddEncoding gzip svgz
</IfModule>
# END Textpattern
------------------------And, the actual site behavior is the same: the home page loads fine, but every other page linked from the home page gives a 404 error.

Re: Migrating to new host
But, if I set Article URL Pattern to ?=messy, the entire (almost) site works fine. There’s one “special” page that is a hand-coded PHP page that I have to redo, but that’s not Textpattern’s fault…
phpinfo() does show that mod_rewrite is loaded. Are there other modules that need to be loaded to support clean URL’s?

Re: Migrating to new host
Hi faren,
there are a lot of variations. Did you try this suggestion?
