For days now I've been trying to overcome a Drupal 7 problem that I<br>
cannot explain.<br>
Over the past year or two I have followed the same method for creating a<br>
copy of our live site to my Fedora 16 pc but as of 4 weeks ago, problems.<br>
<br>
The Process:<br>
-Copy of our live site database as a .sql file made by mysqldump<br>
thatdatabase > this file.sql. It has always for me provided a perfect<br>
copy of the database.<br>
-Zip the whole web site using cPanel.<br>
-Download both to my Fedora 16 installation.<br>
-Unzip the drupal system to /var/www/html/<br>
-mysql -uuser -ppassword create database (thatdatabase) same name user<br>
and password as the original.<br>
-mysql -uuser -ppassword thatdatabase < thisfile.sql<br>
-Change settings.php a+w then remove the 15 lines in<br>
/sites/default/settings.php which access the database.<br>
-Start the installation and enter the database name username and password.<br>
Drupal copy fires up perfectly every time.<br>
---- But ------<br>
<structure><Content Types><Add content> gives WSOD, defaults to the<br>
stark theme with no options.<br>
Views, Add Taxonomy, Add content, Rules, Permissions, Appearance,<br>
configurations, and others all work,<br>
<br>
I have done the following: cleared caches, drush cc all, in myslq<br>
TRUNCATE cache and TRUNCATEd other cache files as per torials on google.<br>
I have googled and found several others have the same problem but no one<br>
offers working solution.<br>
<br>

<br>
Individual content types can have different fields, behaviors, and<br>
permissions assigned to them.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know what causes such a problem, what I should look out for<br>
to prevent future problems and best of all how to kill the problem once<br>
and for all.<br>
<br>
Help greatly appreciated<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
