Title: I moved Elixis; now it won't work.
Post by: Thomas C on January 26, 2014, 02:48:29

Recently and due to a failing hard drive, I had to move Apache, my Elxis forum and my SQL server to another drive.

When I did so, I modified the configuration.php by hand, to reflection the new location specifically, $mosConfig_absolute_path  and $mosConfig_cachepath.

But, now all that Elxis serves up is blank pages.

I looked, but I cannot find any other settings to change. I used PHPmyadmin and modified the relevant settings there, but still, nothing changes.

All my other websites work just fine after the move, just Elxis has problems.

I suspect that I have missed something.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

If you see a blank page this means that you have a php fatal error that is not shown as display_errors is off in your php.ini. See the apache's error log to find out what causes the problem.

You can alternatively enable display of errors in php.ini to show error messages within Elxis.
Open php.ini, find display_errors and change it to:
display_errors = on
Restart apache and check your site for errors.

Thanks. That gave me something to go on... now I get the following errors displayed. I put "..." in the path for security purposes;

Quote

Notice: Undefined variable: fconf_enabled in G:\...\SWN\includes\floodblocker.class.php on line 77

Notice: Undefined variable: fconf_interval in G:\...SWN\includes\floodblocker.class.php on line 79

Notice: Undefined variable: fconf_timeout in G:\...\SWN\includes\floodblocker.class.php on line 80

Notice: Undefined variable: fconf_rules in G:\...\SWN\includes\floodblocker.class.php on line 81

Fatal error: Class 'ElxisDefender' not found in G:\...\SWN\includes\Core\security.php on line 113

Any ideas on what can be causing these errors?

Either $mosConfig_absolute_path in your configuration.php file is wrong, or you have files missing (most probably this).

Download Elxis 2009.3 (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/elxis-cms/325.html) and copy (al least) these folders to your installation, if they exist, deleet them and copy them from the original release:
administrator/tools/defender/
administrator/tools/floodblocker/

Make sure all other files exist...

OK.

I had copied the directory over from a failing drive, but the original directory and the Elxis forum there, worked fine... and STILL works fine, but somehow, the files were not properly copied even though I did a directory & file comparison afterwards.

Anyway, I solved it based on your reply.

I copied the whole works over from a backup from a few months ago and everything is now fine.

Thanks for the great support!
