Jomsocial transfer from one server to another


I am trying to transfer my website with jomsocial from one server to another. www.iremember.gr

Previous server steps: Backup all the files from public_html folder. Backup the DB from php my admin.

New server steps: Install joomla, entered the prefix in DB of the previous DB prefix. Deleted all files from public html and extract the backup from the previous server. Export the DB from the previous server, to the new one. Changed the configuration.php file with the new user/dbname/password.

Now when i try to enter the new server at this IP address 93.174.121.23/~niremco/

and i login ok. It loads the main page but when i try to enter a profile i get a 404 Error.

Although when i try to see the profile

http://93.174.121.23/~niremco/index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid=109 i can see it. But not from the correct link that i had in the previous server http://93.174.121.23/~niremco/team-iremember/profile

Any idea why this happens?


Solution

  • You probably haven't copied the .htaccess file from the old website, you will need to copy it from the old Joomla website to the new one. This typically happens because the .htaccess file is considered to be a hidden file and as such does not get copied over automatically.
