New Server

Permalink
I'm trying to test a current c5 installation on a different server to see if switching hosts would cure some latency issues... anyway so I created a sub-domain on my server and then uploaded the full c5 install, and theme, etc to the new site. Then I created a database and user and exported / imported the database. Lastly, I modified the site.php file to point to the new db. Long story short, the site on the test server doesn't quite work.

Wondering what I missed. Not sure about the password salt in the site.php file. Also the current site says there are 170 tables in the database. The test database says it has 120 tables... not sure if empty tables don't get exported/imported or if this is a problem.

Also not sure if the site.php is the only thing I need to worry about editing settings in.

If anyone can help out that'd be great.

current site ishttp://www.kollegetown.com
testing site ishttp://kt.jacqlines.com

thanks

PS - the test install is not looking for images in the themes folder. For instance it's getting a 404:
http://kt.jacqlines.com/images/espn.png...

when the proper folder is:
http://kt.jacqlines.com/themes/kollegetown/images/espn.png...

OK, there was an index.html file being served. Deleted that and now it's using index.php and c5 - and now getting a database error:

mysql error: [1146: Table 'blurred_kttest.PermissionKeys' doesn't exist] in EXECUTE

So, evidently I need those missing tables. Guess I missed something in the export from phpMyAdmin.

Got it - just had to export/import just the 50 missing tables and now all is happy.
