Webspace Transfer Failed
  • Hi there!

    Today I tried to transfer my FP-Website from Webspace A to Webspace B,
    but after the upload I only get a white homepage. The IP is correct - I try it
    out with a dummy test index.php, and all files are uploaded. I have clean the
    cache too, but it doesn't work :-( Any ideas?
  • Clean the cache, then enable error reporting.
    Have you already checked permissions?
  • @MacGyver said: ...transfer my FP-Website from Webspace A to Webspace B...

    Hm, did you also this with your config dir? If so, it is possible that the setting file had the old url. Did you rebuild your index after moving to the new location?



  • @pierovdn: Cache is clean. With error reporting do you mean and where can I enable it?
    Do you mean the FTP permissions?

    @laborix: In with file can I find the old URL? How can I rebuild the Index?

  • the "settings.conf"-file in the config dir of Flatpress. To rebuild, login to Flatpress, admin panel and maintain. There is a link "Rebuild index".

    But the rebuild only works, if Flatpress is ok.


  • Edit the defaults.php file and add:


    ini_set('error_reporting', 'on');
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
  • @laprix: Hm ;-)

    @pierovdfn: I have add the line but nothing. The screen is still white.

    I think, I have to change the CMS :-(
  • Try to install a new brand flatpress instead of transferting it and then you upload the entries and the static pages.
  • I've had the white page plenty of times when trying to take a shortcut around the tried and trusted way of transferring your FP to a new server, which is to install a brand new version as Piero just said, then run setup, then transfer your content files, then rebuild the index.

    Had all manner of problems with trying to do it any other way.
