Hello everyone...
I have a dev server (Windows) using Uwamp server where I installed D7 and it runs fine.
I backed up the DB structure and content from the admin panel and created a new DB on my live server (CentOS) using PHPmyadmin, created the DB user and provided the proper priviledges. I then imported the DB i exported from my dev box and it went fine.
I copied the file structure from my dev box to the live server and then edited the header.inc.php to set the correct domain name, and paths, db user, password & db name.
$site['url'] = http://dev.XXXXX.com/;
$dir['root'] = "/var/www/vhosts/dev.XXXXX.com/httpdocs/";
$PHPBIN = "/usr/local/bin/php";
$db['host'] = 'localhost';
$db['sock'] = '';
$db['port'] = '';
$db['user'] = '*****';
$db['passwd'] = '*****';
$db['db'] = '*****';
Now from reading all the post here regarding moving servers, I gather the above is all I need to do to transfer from Dev to Live, but when I try to access either the the main URL or the domain/administration directory I get "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error"
So I go to the error log and find the following entries:
[Thu Apr 29 20:53:33 2010] [error] [client 202.69.188.12] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Make sure all files in /var/www/vhosts/dev.XXXXX.com/httpdocs/plugins/phpids/IDS/../../../tmp/default_filter.cacheare writeable!' in /var/www/vhosts/dev.XXXXX.com/httpdocs/plugins/phpids/IDS/Caching/File.php:99\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/vhosts/dev.XXXXX.com/httpdocs/plugins/phpids/IDS/Caching/File.php(116): IDS_Caching_File->__construct('storage', Object(IDS_Init))\n#1 [internal function]: IDS_Caching_File::getInstance('storage', Object(IDS_Init))\n#2 /var/www/vhosts/dev.XXXXX.com/httpdocs/plugins/phpids/IDS/Caching/Factory.php(80): call_user_func(Array, 'storage', Object(IDS_Init))\n#3 /var/www/vhosts/dev.XXXXX.com/httpdocs/plugins/phpids/IDS/Filter/Storage.php(106): IDS_Caching::factory(Object(IDS_Init), 'storage')\n#4 /var/www/vhosts/dev.XXXXX.com/httpdocs/plugins/phpids/IDS/Monitor.php(189): IDS_Filter_Storage->__construct(Object(IDS_Init))\n#5 /var/www/vhosts/dev.XXXXX.com/httpdocs/i in /var/www/vhosts/dev.XXXXX.com/httpdocs/plugins/phpids/IDS/Caching/File.php on line 99
Any idea what is going on?
