Problems with a forum moved to another host

[tatack]

Hello,

my forum has just been moved  to another host and I now have a problem with avatar that has not been moved.

I'm now trying to upload my avatar but I get a permission error, even if avatars and attachments folder are with 777.

Witch could be the cause? Can you help me?

Thank You

What is repair_settings.php?

What is repair_settings.php?

Thank You, now it work, but I still don't have the old avatars.

Make sure you transferee those avatars and also make sure the path is correct.

[Kill Em All]

Well uploaded avatars are stored in your attachments directory. So check your attachements directory to see if they are in there. Your attachments directory is CHMOD to 755 and all the files in there are CHMOD to 644. The avatars shouldn't be hashed either.

[tatack]

CHMOD are OK.

In the attachments folder I have these files:

avatar_tmp_186
avatar_tmp_254
avatar_tmp_4

But I don't see the avatars (only few).

did you fix the path?

[tatack]

did you fix the path?

Yes

I have a feeling that all of the avatars did not transfer then. Do you have access to them still?

Keep in mind that some of the users might have been using the default avatars.

The backup in my hand has been made from old provider, I have no access to the previous FTP.

Is not the first time that I loose a lot of avatars during a host moving. Is it so strange.

[Kill Em All]

Sucks that you have lost avatars before, but unfortunately that is something that SMF can't really take fault for, as its your responsibility to make the back ups and make sure that they are full back ups.

[Adish - (F.L.A.M.E.R)]

Next time do also look into that, that you use binary mode in your FTP client to download and upload avatars incase you grab a copy from somewhere.

Thank You.

How to resolve the following errors on another subdomain?


Warning: require(/home/ecompa/public_html/smforum/SSI.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/e-compa.com/httpdocs/templates/madeyourweb-ext-1024/index.php on line 22

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/ecompa/public_html/smforum/SSI.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/vhosts/e-compa.com/httpdocs/templates/madeyourweb-ext-1024/index.php on line 22


Probably the following path is wrong, but I don't know how to fix it:
/home/ecompa/public_html/smforum/SSI.php

Make sure the path to SSI is correct in the file you've included SSI in.

[Joker™]

Have you used filezilla to transfer your files.

If yes then read this

Important Notice: Do you use Filezilla? Avatars and Attachments lost?

[tatack]

Make sure the path to SSI is correct in the file you've included SSI in.

I have this on line 22: require ($smf_path."/SSI.php");

Should be correct as SSI.php is in smforum folder, no?

[xenovanis]

Hmmm.. Probably should. Never used that 

It's on line 22? This is a non SMF page I presume? Could you try moving that line to the absolute top of the file (line 1)?

[tatack]

But why this path /home/ecompa/public_html/smforum/SSI.php belong at the prevoius host provider? I think that there is a place where change it, but I don't no where.

[tatack]

It was the Joomla/SMF bridge 

[xenovanis]

Ah. Does it work now? You should be able to seth the path in Joomla -> Administrator -> Components -> smf_something(?) Find the correct path in SMF -> Admin -> Edit Server Settings.
