Move from a unix server to a windows server

[calsac.com]

Unix server crashed and had to move to windows for front page support.
copied files over from old site to new and i can see home page, login to admin but that is all
deleted all .htaccess files

what have I missed?

old system saw the "root" as /
it is now a sub directory

Is it possible to turn off seo urls from a file edit? as I can't log into the settings page.

This CRF-Problem which stopps you from Loggin in, is a pest

I modified a file, nonce.php and so I am not molested anymore by this problem (we did a long research here in the forum once)

what to do?

change line 32 in admin/inc/nonce.php (or delete this line)

from:

Code:

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

to:

Code:

// Any problem with this?
    // $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    $ip = ""; // or a random string, as long as it doesn't change between requests

Tried the edit no change, I have to log in twice to get to the page meny and if I go to anyother page I have to log in again.
the settings page throws the csrf error every time.

Wait, I have an idea.

I think we overlooked one important thing:

You copied the files from Unix to windows, without install at Windows? Just copying???

That will be the problem!

please read the article in the WIKI? http://get-simple.info/wiki/installation:migrating

1) you have to do a install under Windows
2) test if the installation works
3) and after that copy the files from /data etc. (like described in the wiki)

then I am sure you will have not these problems

Cheers, Connie

I did the re-install, l can not get the new install to work. I can log on to the pages page after logging in twice. if i try to go to another page I have to log in again. try and go to the settings page and get the csfr error. Beginning to think that it does not work well on a windows platform in a shared environment I have wiped and reloaded Get Simple at least 4 times now with no change in outcome.

Okay got that fixed, it has to be accessed from the root then the sub. Simple fix but a lot of testing lol

every hting is working and site transfered over okay except for the sidebar it has the generic text in it, a search does not find the text in the files any idea where it may hide?

[Connie]

give us an URL please!!!!

maybe the text sits in a template? As you do not tell us which theme you use and we do not know the URL we cannot help you

but some themes come with a sidebar-include-file and maybe you modified that but did install a new fresh version, this is only guessing ...
