Hi, I am not sure if I post this topic in a right place or not...if it is not, I apologize.
My host Onsmart.com went out of business forcing me to move to Hostmonster.com. I transfer all the files from my previous host to my new one and the only different thing I did was instead of putting my website "Enchanting Place" in the main domain, I decided to put it in a subdomain. I uploaded and created a new database with MySQL and phpMyAdmin but I keep seeing these error codes ( http://ep.open-note.com) Is it there because my version of eFiction is out of date and need to upgrade? 😕
Please help. I don't know what to do. The person who configurated the eFiction code for me is out of touch. I am stuck with a website that doesn't work and I really don't have the heart to throw it away.
Please, please give me some/any idea what I can do to get it running again.
Many thanks in advance,
T.T.
Most of the errors are because your dbconfig.php file is missing. Once you locate and upload it, you will need to edit dbconfig.php to include the new database connection information (database name, username, password, host). In your new database did you import the backup of your old database? If not, you will need to do that as well or the site will not function either.
I did upload the dbconfig.php and edit the correct information of my new database. I literally upload all the files from my my old host to my new host. Is there any files similar to dbconfig.php that I need to edit that I don't know about? 😐
Thank you for helping me Tammy, but the error codes are still there.

Then you didn't get it in the right place, it's corrupted, or something. The very first error says quite plainly what's wrong.
Warning: include(public_html/ep/dbconfig.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/opennote/public_html/ep/header.php on line 85
Every other error is caused by this first one since it can't connect to the database since it can't find or open dbconfig.php.
I hope I don't sound like an idiot by asking where should the dbconfig.php be put in.
I put it in the subdomain's main folder.
T.T.
That's where it should go. Re-upload it. It may have been corrupted in the FTP process.
I re-upload, I made a new file and paste in the code....and it still doesn't work. Why won't it work?
This is so frustrating.
T.T.
PS: On the dbconfig.php file, there is the part that said, "$dbhost = 'localhost';"
Do I leave it alone or change 'localhost' to something else? Maybe that is where the problem is? 😕
No localhost should be right. It's very rare that the mysql host is somewhere separate. The error would also be different if that were the problem.
If you put your site in a subdomain, then http://ep.open-note.com wouldn't be the correct web address. It should be something like http://ep.open-note.com/fanfiction instead. In any case, http://ep.open-note.com isn't loading anything for me.
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

I finally manage sometime today and changed it back to 'localhost' instead of 'ep_localhost'. I was so surprise that there is less error codes. I don't get the error code that said something is wrong with my dbconfig.php anymore. I am so happy! It is a sign that my website can be rescued! Now I only have

Can someone tell me how to fix it?
Btw Jan, what do you mean it isn't loading anything for you? I can see it fine with firefox, Opera and IE. I hope it is not another error.
The main domain is http://www.open-note.com, therefore the subdomain is http://ep.open-note.com. Why should it be http://ep.open-note.com/fanfiction?
Thank you in advance,

Are you trying to re-install a 1.1 archive? blocks.php doesn't exist in 3.0. You're asking for help in the 3.0 forum. I believe your problem is that you haven't restored your database. If this a 1.1 archive, I strongly suggest you upgrade to 3.3 when you've got it restored. 1.1 has many known bugs and security holes.
I believe the version I have now is 1.1. But I am hoping to get it to work and then upgrade it to the newest version. Do I upgrade it now? I am just worry that if I do it when there is still errors in the process of transferring to a new host, I will make matter worse by upgrading.
T.T.
No. You need to get the whole thing working then upgrade. I'll move this to the correct forum. As I said, I think your issues at the moment are that the database hasn't been restored.
The 1.1 forums are closed because we don't support 1.1 anymore. That means only only admins can respond to this thread so I'm moving this one back to 3.0 temporarily.
