    I’ve renamed the plugins dir again, this time I didn’t get a blank page. However, I still can’t log on but now I’m not seeing any error messages either.

    Very strange…

    The wp-admin/index.php is intact and well. I can view the login page for wp-admin but can’t actually log in. I’m being told that cookies aren’t enabled when they are, and that it has something to do with ldap, but things seem ok? There was a mu-plugin I forgot to disable, maybe that’ll will do the trick.

    EDIT: Disabling the mu ldap plugin lead to more blank/white pages, both on the admin and front end.

    Also, it seems that permalinks are not working though the htaccess file is present. A manual upgrade it might just have to be. Any other suggestions at this point?

    Thanks.

    Oh dear… The index file contains so much gibberish that my terminal can’t display it and has made my machine choke lol. When I type in a term it’s using some alien script. This is really strange! Creating a new one has given life to my blog… Thank you very much, I can’t believe I didn’t check that. I’m just confused as to how that could have happened?

    Still can’t get onto the backend though.

    All themes have been moved over and I already disabled plugins (by renaming, forgot to state in first post). The crucial files are there now too.

    Despite this the problem persists. I tried updating to PHP 5.3 and well, it just got very ugly so I rolled back lol.

    Just to clarify, should I have backed up the database prior to copying the site installation or doesn’t it really matter?

    Thank you.

    EDIT: I’m looking at the apache logs and found this appear a lot:

    [Fri Feb 04 15:18:25 2011] [error] [client *my IP*] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/html/index.php on line 10

    Correction: The .htaccess files did in fact copy over, so something else has got to be the problem

    Thanks Andrea,

    Somehow I thought [and hoped] you’d respond lol. I recovered my old site through a two-day old backup. Speaking of missing, I’ve noticed that my htaccess files weren’t tarred over. Now I always thought that tar does copy dot files? There seems to be crucial ldap files missing too, maybe if I copy them back in it’ll be ok.

    Per chance, do you think that because the newer server runs on PHP 5.2 that this is too old?

    I reached a point where I was thinking of rebuilding the installation and merely importing the db… I rather not have to resort to that.
