  • urgent help - transferring site to a new domain

    Posted 15 years 4 months ago
    • Hi, i have been working on a rocket theme joomls site from one domain on a seperate hosting company:
      www.kitchenscompleted.com/yarm

      We now want to transfer the domain onto a different host and new domain at:
      www.yarmmartialarts.co.uk

      I have downloaded all the site from ftp and re-uploaded them.

      I have exported the database and set it back up on the new host.

      I have changed to config.php file including the temp paths and log paths to:
      var $log_path = '/home/kitchen1/public_html/yarm/logs';
      var $tmp_path = '/home/kitchen1/public_html/yarm/tmp';

      as well as the other database information.

      When you visit the site on the new domain none of the links work corrently and keep linking back to the old domain. when i try to edit any content or install a new component i get the error:
      · JFolder::create: Infinite loop detected

      · Warning! Failed to move file.

      as far as i know i think this may be because i have the file paths incorrect as i put above, i checked the permissions are set to 777 on the temp and log files.


      Really urgent that i get this up and running correctly, any help would be really amazing. as i am now pulling my hair out !!

      Thanks guys.

    • thanks for your help, this is the first time i have ever tried to transfer a joomla so sorry to sound like an idiot.

      Just a another quick question, im in the process of downloading the back up that joomlapack creates, all the old files that i previously uploaded to ftp for the site, is it best to delete them all ? or will joomla pack simply replace ?

      Thanks

    • joomla pack has supplied me with a jps file back up of my website. My C panel will not allow me to extract this, do i need to convert it to a zip file ??

    • A) Yes, delete all the old files.

      B) The default setting is zip, you must have changed it to a jps file. Refer to the JoomlaPack documentation for details.
