Fatal error - moved to new server !

[12noon]

Hi,

I've got a big problem and don't know how to sort it out.

I was using web hosting before and the IndexU script worked just fine, but my hosting firm emailed me and said that i was using too much proccesor time and would either have to remove some of my web pages (scripts) or move to a dedicated server.

I couldn't afford the dedicated server they had to offer, so i thought it would be better to back up everything and move to 1and1.co.uk dedicated server.

1and1 don't use CPANEL they use something called PLESK.

I couldn't just use the back-up i'd saved from my old hosting because the back-up was done with CPANEL and my new server wont let you upload a back-up that was made using CPANEL.

Anyway i've managed to upload the files and databases to my server now, but INDEXU dosn't work. I've even tried installing INDEXU from fresh, but it still doesn't work.

Can anyone help me ?
This is the problem i'm getting :-

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/httpd/vhosts/netaddition.com/httpdocs/links/lib/category.class.php on line 336

I get this error the second i click on either a category or a link.
BTW i also can't log-in to either admin or as a user. The log-in pages just pop back up as soon as i try to log-in.

Looks like its working on your site now? Did you fix it?

The front page looks like it's working, but did you try clicking on any links ?
I also can't log-in even using the right username and password.
I can't get to admin because i can't log-in.

[esm]

if you are using 3.2, that error is related to the GetCategoryPath function.

you need to run the Category path update from the Admin menu.

can you login in from the main (indexu) page of your site - using the login on the left?

[12noon]

No, i can't log-in.

I've had a look in phpmyadmin to make sure i'm using the right username and password and i still can't log-in. I've also tried re-setting the password back to what it is when you first install and that wont let me in either.

I just don't get it. I can't work out what is wrong.
You would think that nothing would work, but the main page does. It's just all the links and the log-in that don't.

[esm]

in phpmyadmin make sure that the admin is set as follows:

• status= 1
• group_id=0

if that does not work, find the GetUserAuthentication function in the users.class.php file

what you want to do is comment out all the existing code and add one line so that this will allow you to temporarily enter to you admin control panel. So:

• add a \* on the first line (after function GetUserAuthentication($group_id = 100) {
  )
• find the last } for the function (about 26 lins down) and add a add a */
• just after that add return 1
• You will want to reverse the changes to GetUserAuthentication above after you finish with the admin control panel.

obviously not a long term solution but it will allow you to get you site back running.

Where and how ?

// ----------------------------------

  function GetUserAuthentication($group_id = 100) {


    global $COOKIE_USER_AUTHENTICATED, $COOKIE_USERNAME, $COOKIE_PASSWORD;

    if(empty($COOKIE_USER_AUTHENTICATED) or empty($COOKIE_USERNAME) or empty($COOKIE_PASSWORD))        
      return 1; 
      
      else {

      $query = "select password, group_id from $this->table_name where username='$COOKIE_USERNAME' and status = 1";
      $result = $this->db_connect->Execute($query);    
      if($result)  { 
        $pwd = $result->Fields("password"); 
        $gid = $result->Fields("group_id"); 

         if ($group_id == 100) {
          if($COOKIE_USER_AUTHENTICATED && $COOKIE_PASSWORD == $pwd) return 0;
          else return 1;
        }
        else {
          if($COOKIE_USER_AUTHENTICATED && $COOKIE_PASSWORD == $pwd && $group_id == $gid) return 0;
          else return 1;
        }
      }
      else return 1;
    }
  }




  // method to change user profile
  // input :    $status = "display_form"
  //                      "process_form"
  //            $username

It didn't work.

I still have problems.

Has anyone got any advice when using 1and1.co.uk ?
I'm on a redhat 9 server.

I think I made a mistake.
at the bottom, change

to

return 0;
}

I can now get in to admin, but still have the errors on the pages just off the main page.

I've run the Update Category Path but it does nothing. It doesn't look like it's updating.

Found my PHP info :-

BTW lots of stuff don't work in admin.
Validate Links doesn't work !
I have one old link in the database and can't do anything with it.

[12noon]

I let a friend have a look at my 1and1 dedicated server, to see if he could work out why my directory didn't work. BTW i also have other stuff that doesn't work now i've moved to a new server.
Anyway this is what he said :-

hi, I think that I know what is going on, I've similar problem... it's because of windows filesystem isn't compatible with a Linux, I had similar problem once, and solved it by installing software from the scratch and later installing old database(it was with our forum). The problem is that I don't have fast connection and couldn't upload scrtips myself, can you tell me when you be online so you could upload all necessary archives to hosting, including your backup archive(it's important to upload archive and not single files) from old hosting? once I have them, I could log on through SSH and unpack them in linux system.

So it's the file system ?

My old hosting also used Red Hat Linux though, so you'd think it would be the same because my new server also uses Red Hat.

Must be because i'm on Windows XP and used the back-up i made to upload each file one by one via FTP.

Anyone got any other advice ?

[Frank71]

Not sure, but don't forget this error on your index:
Warning: fopen(cache/index_.html): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/httpd/vhosts/netaddition.com/httpdocs/links/index.php on line 199

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/httpd/vhosts/netaddition.com/httpdocs/links/index.php on line 200

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/httpd/vhosts/netaddition.com/httpdocs/links/index.php on line 201

Settings seems to be wrong, too

OK, we have been trying for ages now and still can't get the script to work on this new server (1and1.co.uk).

We have installed a fresh version of indexu32 and added a fresh database, but still get the same errors.

We can't log-in and the links don't work.

Can anyone tell me what modules are used for php/apache ?

My freind says he will add any modules i might need that the script uses, but we need to find out what these modules are ???

everything seems to work fine except when I click details for a listing - I get this:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/httpd/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/lib/category.class.php on line 336

Any suggestions?
