Problem migrating to new server

I just finished uploading all of my file to a new hosting server (GoDaddy) and I am having a problem getting the site working.

When I access the page (www.jimcald.us/Serendiptiy?index.php) all I get is:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "404.tpl" in /home/content/j/i/m/jimcaldadmin/html/Serendipity/bundled-libs/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

When I try to access the admin page, I get the login message and the login is accepted, but if I try to access one of the links on that page, I am re-directed back to the login screen

this page is working on the other server, so I think that it is a path problem.

Hi!

Check if you uploaded all files. Seems that some coretemplate files in your "templates" directory are missing.

Thanks for the reply, I'll check that. I was having issues during the FTP transfers.

Garvin,

I check the directory structure and all of the files appear to be there. What I am having problems with is getting the paths set up properly.

Is there a FAQ or someplace else that explains this more clearly?

I have saved my file one folder deep at the hosting server in a folder called "Serendipity".

My absolute path to this folder is:
/home/content/j/i/m/jimcaldadmin/html/Serendipity/

From the MySQL database here are some of the other paths:

Base URL:http://www.jimcald.us/
Index File: Serendipity/index.php
Upload Path: uploads/
templatePath: templates/
uploadHTTPPath: uploads/
serendipityHTTPPath: /Serendipity/

Thanks for the help.

Hi!

That's a wrong setup

You need to have this:

Code: Select all

Base URL:http://www.jimcald.us/Serendipity/
Index File: index.php
Upload Path: uploads/
templatePath: templates/
uploadHTTPPath: uploads/
serendipityHTTPPath: /Serendipity/

Regards,
Garvin

Thanks for the help, I will change them as noted and see what happens!

That did the trick! With one minor exception, the path to "uploads" was still pointing to the root directory, not the one inside of "Serendipity". I incorporated a workaround by moving "uploads" to the root directory and now everything seems to be working.
