Problem with recreating the site
Hi to all, I had some issues with hosting company and had to leave them. But I did download all files and made mysql dump (using phpMyAdmin). The site was made with Drupa 6. I tried to recreate the site on my mac mini (MAMP) but wasn't successful. I copied all Drupal files inside MAMPS/htdocs (didn't forget .htaccess) and created a database with the same name and imported mysql dump (using also phpMyAdmin). Then made the change in settings file (line 92: $db_url = 'mysqli://root:root@localhost/mydbname';) Result is completely blank page. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help, Afan

Using phpMyAdmin to dump a Drupal DB is not recommended procedure, you may have lost some of the data due to connection timeout issues. I would have used mysqldump directly instead.

What about user and password? Check your settings.php file.
Then made the change in settings file (line 92: $db_url = 'mysqli://root:root@localhost/mydbname';)
Is the password to your root user root?
Result is completely blank page.
Check the php, apache and system log files. Maybe your memory_limit needs adjusted?

I don't know, add a php file that simply does <?php phpinfo(); ?>. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd

I understand and, in general, I agree. Though, the database is small. I believe no more then 1000 records in all tables, including sessions and cache. :-) And I was thinking in this case phpMyAdmin will do the job, and make me Import easier.

I changed the database username and password in settings.php, as stated a little bit below.
Then made the change in settings file (line 92: $db_url = 'mysqli://root:root@localhost/mydbname';) Is the password to your root user root? These are default values in MAMP on my local machine, my desktop (Mac Mini) and it's accessible by me only. I didn't see any big reason to change it. I just wanted to recreate it and localy move it from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 and then move it (again) to new hosting.
Result is completely blank page.
Check the php, apache and system log files. Maybe your memory_limit needs adjusted? Very good idea! Why I didn't think about the basic thing?!?!?!? :(

Thanks a lot :)
Use command line mysqldump to create the sql file and mysql to import it. Lightening fast compared to phpmyadmin On Nov 6, 2012, at 9:20 AM, Afan Pasalic <afan@afan.net> wrote:

New problem. I managed somehow to put the site back on the server but except the home page no other works?!!?? Could you please take a look at http://iowalincolnhighway.org/ Any idea what's gong on? Thanks for any help, Afan
Afari, Make sure the .htaccess file got copied over, the database is there and then check over the error logs. Marty At 12:09 PM 11/7/2012, Afan Pasalic wrote:

Yup. That was it. I forgot to copy .htaccess. :( Ok then, when I use scp -v source/ target/ why it didn't copy ALL files? what flag in the future I have to use to be sure the .htaccess file is going to be copied too? I know, I know... man scp, but this way is easier :D Thanks for help, Afan On 11/7/2012 11:26 AM, Marty Landman wrote:

If source/ is a directory then everything should have copied. If source/ is a glob of the files then * is likely to only see the "visible" files. By default .htaccess is a "hidden" file and you must specify it directly. Be careful in using a glob of .* because that includes . and .. directories and you could cause a recursive copy. You could use a glob of .[a-zA-Z0-9]* if you need to use a glob. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd
But most of the site works; there seems to be a problem with the image links. I had a similar thing happen and tried to figure it out; in the end it was simpler to just re-link them. Pia
Afari,

Yes. As Marty said, I forgot to copy .htaccess file to the server. My assumption scp will copy all files was wrong. :) On 11/7/2012 11:51 AM, DAN HALL wrote:
