Migrating hosts causing problems

    Hi there. I recently migrated to hostcoloreurope.com. I copied across the site structure including wordpress/* and added the wordpress database. However while the WP admin dashboard works fine and I can see all the posts I’ve previously added etc when I go to the front page of my site it’s totally blank (checking the source there isn’t even html).

    I’ve read that it can be problems with badly written themes (I was using redtrain) so I switched back to default, but that didn’t make any difference. I also read it might be todo with the content/cache folder but there isn’t one in my installation.

    One important point is that I couldn’t simply import the blog database in using phpmyadmin. I found that I had to go through stripping out stuff. Originally each table statement looked like this:

    ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=* ;

    where * is a number.

    However I found that DEFAULT was causing problems so I stripped it out on all tables like so:


    ENGINE=MyISAM CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=* ;

    I’ve little to no experience with mysql so I’ve no idea what that means. my host is running MySQL 4.0.24.

    I’d be greatful for help as I am quite confounded!

    Could we have a link?
    What you did to the db is fine – that will not be the problem.

    Tried deactivating any plugins? Or reactivating ones that when you moved you switched off?

    Tried clearing cookies and the browser cache?

    You seem to have read and done most things though

    the wordpress installation is viewable at nemof.org. I checked it in different browsers (IE/Opera/Firefox) and none of them render anything but a blank page (no HTML). They do pick up the favicon.ico in the base dir ok.

    I jus telnetted to my site and captured the headers:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Date: Thu, 04 May 2006 15:26:02 GMT
    Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) PHP/5.0.3 mod_accounting/0.5 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_perl/1.29 mod_deflate/1.0.21 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7a
    X-Powered-By: PHP/5.0.4
    Connection: close
    Content-Type: text/html

    That’s all I get.

    I’ve deactivated all plugins, that makes no difference. I also reactivated them so as to keep the site as near to the normal layout as possible.

    I just had a thought, my new host redirects to nemof.org if you type http://www.nemof.org, I forget what this is called. My old host wouldn’t redirect so you would end up at http://www.nemof.org.

    That’s all I got, I can’t think of anything else.

    sorted it out myself. i re-uploaded a clean set of wordpress files. there was probably some lose code in there that I added which was causing a problem! Silly me, thanks for the help though!
