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/

Garvin

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.
