    I am in the process of moving my site to a new host (LiquidWeb.com) and followed the instructions in the Moving Site documentaion however when I go to the site (using an ip address for now) I get an empty page. I checked the classifieds.php file and it seems to be ok.

    Help appreciated.
    thx

    in the 68C admin you enter a URL for the site. This URL is used by the scripts in certain instances for the various files. Did you put in an IP address or a domain name?

    I cant get to the admin panel on the new host so I entered the ip address using phpMyAdmin in the class_admin url field.

    the file includes/init.php does not include the error_reporting call. I tried inserting the suggested code at the top of the file just after <?php but that had no effect. The file contains ionCube code.

    Please add the code to the top of the Connections/classifieds.php file instead.

    the only info is in the html tag wihich has the fields lpcachedff="0" lpcachedffnumforms="0"

    the total page is

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
    <HTML lpcachedff="0" lpcachedffnumforms="0"><HEAD>
    <META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>
    <BODY></BODY></HTML>

    Don't know or understand where that code you just posted came from as 68C uses a DOCTYPE of XHTML

    What version of 68C are you using and what is your site? It's difficult for anyone to give you pertinent advice without pertinent information.

    I would do something simple like create a test file in the web root on your server and see if you can access it via a browser, something doesnt seem right.

    Of course, I don't know what type of web hosting account that you have, however if it is on a shared server as most are, the same IP address is used for several different accounts and domains within the same account. Typically, if you haven't updated DNS records for the domain and you are therefore using an IP address in a shared environment, then you usually have to have additional information in the url.

    It is typical to have an IP url something like:
    http://67.227.212.143/~useraccountname/
    OR
    http://67.227.212.143/~useraccountname/classifieds/

    You might want to try the ip address with the tilde "~" and whatever your username for the account is. there is a good chance that will work.

    OK, after much fiddling around I was able to get things going more or less. There must have been a problem in the ftp transfer to the new site as a re-upload help a lot. I now receive the following messages on various pages

    Warning: unlink(/home/waldwrld/public_html//license/key.php) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in /home/waldwrld/public_html/includes/classes/kernel/Key.php on line 262

    You can safely delete the license/key.php file.
    It will be regenerated the first time you login from the new host.

    This may clean up the other errors as well.

    GREAT ! ! ! That got rid of everything except on the home page and a others OUTSIDE the admin area I still get

    Notice: Undefined variable: sitetitle in /home/waldwrld/public_html/language/english.php on line 52

    Otherwise everythihng is working fine.
