migration issues.

[graybeard]

I had to change my host and during the migration my site was totally hosed. I am thinking I need to do a fresh unstallation but am worried I will lose all my data and images. I still have the files on my old server. Can I install a fresh copy and retain my files etc.

Hi, which is the actual question?

Can I install a fresh copy and retain my files etc.

In your case you should backup the database and uploads, then install a fresh copy. Once done, restore the database and uploads.

It still works on the old host site. I installed it on the new host site and I get this when I enter the url. What should the url be. sitename/chevereto???

 

[Rodolfo]

You are getting that message because PHP isn't being served at that URL.

How do I fix that?

It depens on your hosting provider, and it is outside of the scope of software support.

You need a PHP environment and other server requirements to run Chevereto. https://v3-docs.chevereto.com/setup/requirements.html

Thank you, Rodolfo, That information is helpful. One last question. What should the url be to launch the site?

That will depend on how you configure the website. It should be the hostname in your server pointed to the path containing Chevereto.

Well I have the site up and running, however none of the old photos are visible. Any new ones I upload are. The htacess was modified to get the site back up. Do you see any entries that could cause my issues?
RewriteEngine on
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^titzowt\.com$ [OR]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.titzowt\.com$
#RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/titzowt\.com\/chevereto\/" [R=301,L]


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?titzowt\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/chevereto [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /chevereto/$1 [L]

1. First thing first, update to the latest version you are using 3.10.18 which dates from June 2018 so you are heavy outdated.
2. I'm able to see old content, you will need to show me a sample URL.

I want to thank you for you patience and time. The PHP info steered me in the right direction. As for the image issues, I noticed the the images for 2019 and 2020 did not transfer when I moved them to the new server.
All seems to be working now. I have also updated to 3.16.2
Thanks again and sorry for the bother.
