Errors in index.php after moving hosts
Hi. Textpattern 4.4.1 site.
Moved textpattern tree and db as instructed in documentation from one server to another within same hosting company (ICDsoft). (Was confused in documentation what moving “default.php” meant.)
Configured as requested. Except these lines not included in config.php, but exist in documentation:
$txpcfg[‘txpath’] = ‘/home/.some_name/site_username/yourname.com/textpattern’;
$txpcfg[‘doc_root’] = ‘/home/.some_name/site_username/yourname.com/’;
Going to the new site URL I get:
(The errors look like this, posting 4 out of 7 errors):
Warning: include(/home/artsouthend/www/text/textpattern/lib/constants.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/artsouthend/www/text/index.php on line 36
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/home/artsouthend/www/text/textpattern/lib/constants.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php53/lib/php’) in /home/artsouthend/www/text/index.php on line 36
Warning: include(/home/artsouthend/www/text/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/artsouthend/www/text/index.php on line 37
(three more, then the following)
Fatal error: Call to undefined function textpattern() in /home/artsouthend/www/text/index.php on line 45
—
There are no files like contants.php or txplib_misc.php in the original installation nor in the new one.
From the errors, can you tell what is going on?
thanks.

Hi Don
Can you log in?
If so can you post your diagnostics?

Re: Errors in index.php after moving hosts
I can’t log in. I get no log in screen, just more errors (15) looking like:
Warning: include_once(/home/artsouthend/www/text/textpattern/lib/constants.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/artsouthend/www/text/textpattern/index.php on line 42
Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/home/artsouthend/www/text/textpattern/lib/constants.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php53/lib/php’) in /home/artsouthend/www/text/textpattern/index.php on line 42
And the final one, a fatal error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function getmicrotime() in /home/artsouthend/www/text/textpattern/index.php on line 50
Thank you, colak.

Hi
Can you post your config.php file? (without including password of course)

The wiki page (which you are likely referring to) isn’t exactly up-to-date and the information given can be a bit misleading.
Configured as requested. Except these lines not included in config.php, but exist in documentation:
Please refer to the config.php generated by Textpattern v4.4.1 and to config-dist.php for the correct format.
The mentioned $txpcfg['doc_root'] haven’t been used in ages, and $txpcfg['txpath'] is only used for backwards compatibility. Neither are used by Textpattern itself.
There are no files like contants.php or txplib_misc.php […] From the errors, can you tell what is going on?
Textpattern does have and need those files (i.e. /textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php). If the files do not exists, something has gone badly wrong. Try by downloading and using stock Textpattern installation files.

<?php

$txpcfg['user'] = 'xxxxx';
$txpcfg['pass'] = 'xxxxx';
$txpcfg['host'] = 'localhost';
$txpcfg['table_prefix'] = '';
$txpcfg['txpath'] = '/home/artsouthend/www/text/textpattern';
$txpcfg['dbcharset'] = 'utf8';

Thanks for that. Perhaps it was an incomplete FTP transfer. (Scratching head.)

OK. After I do that, how do I add the content/images from the original site? Is there an import function or do I just move the appropriate folders?
Thanks much.

Content is stored in the database. Replacing the installation files replaces just the installation files, nothing else.
You can pretty safely replace index.php, css.php and textpattern/ directory with the stock files. Then just place your own existing config.php to textpattern directory, and that’s it. As far as your own content files (images, downloads, admin-side themes) go, just do not overwrite those and they won’t be affected, as all content is kept in the database, which I assume you have already moved (exported and imported, as outlined in the wiki page) from the old server to the new one.

Thanks much for this advice, Gocom, and for your further advice. It is good to have this info for future use.
The problem was an incomplete ftp transfer. When I did a server to server migration, everything worked well.
Thanks, too, Dragondz.
