Restoring TXP

Zarathu · 2006-11-04 17:16:55

Alright, so I had backed up SQL data as well as all of my files. I also changed the name of the directory. After importing all of the SQL information and fixing the config.php file, all I get when I view the index.php file is just a blank, white screen. Going to the /textpattern/ also gives me nothing but a white screen.

Help please.

Oh, take note, I edited the SQL file and changed all of the values that had the directory to the new directory.

Do you still have the original sql file? You don’t have to edit it, just edit config.php, import the database, and then in Admin > preferences change the site url.

I had to edit it because the directory that the files were located in had changed, you see. I edited config.php, I imported the database, but I can’t get into TXP. /textpattern/index.php = a blank, white page.

I’ve been working on this all day and I’m exhausted. I’d like to get this done soon.

The problem probably isn’t in the database. Check your config.php and .htaccess files, and make sure you’ve uploaded everything correctly.

.htaccess

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php </IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

^ That’s it.

And as for the config.php, everything is set up properly. What else could it be?

Impossible for us to know. A blank page usually means a PHP or server error that the server is refusing to display. You’ll need to talk to your hosting company.

You say you’re restoring Textpattern… restoring from where? Moving the installation from a different server? or a different folder, or…?

zem · 2006-11-05 02:19:57

You’re having a different problem. Please don’t confuse this thread.

Zarathu · 2006-11-05 03:18:28

As for contacting the hosting company, I own the server. It isn’t cheap or anything, it’s stored at a datacenter and has a dedicated 100 Mbps uplink. I am the hosting company.

Mary: I’m moving it to a different folder, not a different server.

OH! Found something of value:

Checking database connection…

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2.2\htdocs\thesarcasm\textpattern\setup\index.php on line 195

I tried to install from scratch and then slowly import stuff into the SQL, and that was the error I got.

Using PHP 5.2.0 with Apache 2.2.3 along with MySQL 5.0. I had the same problem with 4.1, and I upgraded.

Update:

Reinstalling Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.2.0, and MySQL 5.0 – I’ll let you know what happens.
