Title: Attempted to move my site
Post by: JayinGR on August 16, 2008, 09:41:46 PM
Hi everyone.

Recently I was purchasing space from a friend server and he decided he needed the whole server.  I never moved my SMF board and a friend backed up the whole site and FTP'd it back into the new server now I am getting this message.


Warning: require_once(/home/content/h/a/v/hav0k7911/html/forums1/Sources/Load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/h/a/v/hav0k7911/html/forums1/index.php on line 52

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/content/h/a/v/hav0k7911/html/forums1/Sources/Load.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/h/a/v/hav0k7911/html/forums1/index.php on line 52

Can anyone tell me what this means?  Is there anyone out there that moves SMF sites for payment?  I would be more than happy to pay someone through paypal or something anything...I just cant figure this out.

Thanks,

No need to pay.

Download the repair_setting.php file from the following location.

http://www.simplemachines.org/download/index.php?thanks;filename=repair_settings.php

Put it in the directory where your forum is located. (Directory where your settings.php resides)

It should be like this

for forum http://www.yoursite.com/forum/index.php       ---> http://www.yoursite.com/forum/repair_settings.php
for forum http://www.yoursite.com/index.php       ---> http://www.yoursite.com/repair_settings.php

Open the file from entering the path in the browser address bar. Set the necessary details provided by your host there. They are easy to fill and in most cases guessed correctly. :)

Repair the board and after that delete the repair_settings.php from your ftp. ;)

Likewise, refer to these documents as well:

What is repair_settings.php? (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=663)

How do I move my SMF board to a different host? (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=489)

Try using restore_backup.php (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=37792.0;attach=7466) to restore your database. If that doesn't work, use BigDump (http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php) to do this.

I've used BigDump to import are small, but too big db of around 64mb and it worked like a treat.

Are you sure you are uploading the correct file and only the sql db backup?  Finally were you successful in restoring your forum and database?
