Installation, Configuration, & Upgrades  :: 
Relocating PostNuke Site
 Top

  • Hello! I am relocating a PostNuke website from one host to another. I wish to keep all my existing information intact losing as little as possible and I am interest in a guide in doing so. I am changing database names, uers names, passwords, and domain names in the process.

    I have attempted to relocate the site myself, and for the most part I think I have worked out most of the bugs. I assumed that the best idea would be to upload the entire site and database, then reinstall the install.php and install folder and run an upgrade. It failed so I copied everything over again (the config.php file was left intact - and helped me gain access to the site). I would like to know if this would cause any problems or if this is the proper way to move it.

    As for the bugs, I have 1 module that I created myself. I get a Smarty error for a template I have. In the pnTemplate folder i have a "_user_display.htm" file that contains the following code:

    Code

    <!--[pnimg src="fire.jpg"]-->

    Where "fire.jpg" is located in the pnImages folder of the same module.
    It worked on the old site, and now I seem to get:

    Quote

    Warning: Smarty error: pnimg: image fire.jpg not found in /usr/home/asmoran/public_html/seraphknights/includes/classes/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1083

    I don't have any URLS in any of the php/block/template code, and I'm clueless why Smarty seems to be having problems.

    Please let me know if i moved my site properly and if so, what i can do to fix this Smarty problem.
  • i figured out my Smarty error....apparently on the old website caps didn't matter, on the new site caps does matter, my pic files were caps and the pnimg src was not...


    anyways, the site looks fine - but i'd still like to know if editing the config file is the only requirement in moving the PostNuke site from one host/domain to another...(a guide would be nice)
  • Do a search on it, I believe someone posted a guide once on how to move a site. MWest or someone similar good luck!
