Moving a site from another host onto my web server
Permalink
Hi everyone
I am still very new to Concrete5
I set up Concrete5 on my server which is Windows Server 2008, IIS 6.0. and set up the default concrete5 site to learn how to edit stuff etc.
The web designer for our new website has sent me his files where he has them hosted by another host, which I do not know.
I have copied and pasted the files into my relevant directory on my server and changed the 'BASE_URL' and 'DIR_REL' in the site.php file, (see below) This is what worked before with the default site I had, but now I get: SERVER ERROR
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
Site.php
<?php
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'admin');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'akhter');
define('BASE_URL', 'http://212.106.97.197');
define('DIR_REL', '/concrete5.4.2.2');
define('PASSWORD_SALT', 'zFZrprS4jNX47puBIKQzoAQwyTTLjWqcD5fLzKUiTNmyIBFY7Ou1OS4eKU0WRn2R');
I don't know how or where the database is in Concrete5 and was wondering do I need to change the USERNAME, PASSWORD, DATABASE as well in Site.php?
The web designer said after I had installed the files and changed the site.php as per the moving a site instructions from Concrete5 I should login using: User: admin and password: akhterweb should these details be included in the site.php file?
The full address ishttp://212.106.97.197/concrete5.4.2.2/...
If you go tohttp://212.106.97.197/ you will see a web page there which indicates to me this is not a security/permissions problem.
I will be trying to get this working today whilst waiting for answers but I am a bit lost at the moment so any advice or help will be appreciated.
Regards
Steve

Hi,
What files did the designer sent you? Are you moving the whole c5 installation to your local?
Anyhow the problem seems to reside on your IIS configuration. Check the file permissions of the files you added to your installation and make them readable if they are not.

Hi
He sent me the complete website and I replaced my existing default Concrete5 website with his, have checked IIS Security and permissions and everything is okay there.
I am currently a bit confused about web.config file I have have and if I should be doing something in MySql, Apache or even PHP...

I have found out the website being sent to me is/was on a Linux server hosted by Heart Internet, I am also attaching a word document so that people may be able to assist me with my problem.

this is the site.php file he sent me
<?php
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'EDITED3');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'TEDITEDe');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'webEDITED');
define('BASE_URL', 'http://www.edited.co.uk');
define('DIR_REL', '/akhtereEDITEDd');
define('PASSWORD_SALT', 'V8kU9PyQZeEDITEDCeAvzLFBlkeLKHIzO15m6gzb6KQR9pavVIU5Hi1OExHvoG');
Have been trying so many things, may have confued everybody, have put in "EDITED" so as not to compromise his security.
