Good Afternoon! Migrated servers. server doesn't know source directory.

[The8thHokage]

Hello! Good Afternoon.


We have a problem. I moved over to a new server site for many reasons. I had exported the databases and I have saved a downloaded file. I expected that I could just run repair_settings.php and it would fix things for me. However that didn't work out. I am running a cpanel for the website and it does not have a home/public_html/ for the server site, additionally I have the root directory for www set at /public_html/ thus, there is nothing I can do about moving the files. What I don't get is that I am getting the following errors....

Same issue. When I go to modify the directory it uses the source directory, so theirs no modifying there. I am trying to basically get the whole website under one source directory and no matter what I try it does not work, infact hen I go to the index page of SMF it redirects me to google.com [nofollow]?? Why I don't know. Please help me when you can thank you.

did you follow https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Hosting_-_How_do_I_move_my_SMF_forum_to_a_different_host ?

[The8thHokage]

No, I will review it and keep you posted.

[The8thHokage]

This did not fix my problem as I had already downloaded it, and deleted it from the original server

They are in sync, its just the modification isn't working because the source file where ever that setting is is in the wrong spot. I need to simply reset the sourcefiles and repair_settings.php isn't doing the job, its setting it to the home directory that simply doesn't exist.

Can you attach your BotBanish_AccessError.php file

[The8thHokage]

Yes

[vbgamer45]

Does the file Settings_Client.php exist in your public_html folder

[The8thHokage]

Let me check......

Yes, I will also attach it

how do you know that the home directory does not exist? maybe that is the issue that you are pointing to folders that do not exist on your current server.
