Site Migration Woes. Can't add blocks and other missbehaviors.
Permalink
I'm developing a concrete5 site (version 5.6.3.1) for a client. I've been developing on a single version of the site (Primary) that I'm now sharing with the client. Today I split the site by duplicating the existing site into a Development version of the site for me to hack at a bit.
Both versions are in different directories on the same server. Each has it's own mysql database (and configured in site.php). Aside from that the site's are identical. I duplicated the database content with mysqldump, and duplicated the complete file structure using git.
Both sites seem to work fine at first. I can view the site pages, login and edit content.
Two things I've noticed are not working.
1. New Blocks. I tried adding a custom block that is known to work on the Primary site. It won't work on the Development site. I get the following error when trying to access the block through Block Types or through adding the block to an area. I get a similar error with blocks created through the excellent Designer Content add-on.
2. Cached Images throughout the site images are broken.
Here is an example Image tag from the Primary site

These images are added through a modified version of the lightboxed-image block, and I don't know why it is no longer provided the appropriate information to the view.
Any help on understanding these items? I would be grateful. Soon I'll have to migrate this site to it's new host and I'd like to be ready for these problems when it happens.
