[Solved]: Fatal error after migration.
« on: March 23, 2008, 02:09:44 pm »

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for my problem!

My web host just migrated all its Linux customers to a new datacentre. Since the move, my site all works except for the Coppermine page which produces a blank page saying "Fatal Error". These are the things I've tried:

1) Restored the MySQL database from a known good back-up. Everything looks OK when viewed through PHPMyAdmin - tables are all there and seem to contain the right data.

2) Deliberately altered the password in cpg's config file to an invalid one. I then get the usual cpg error message about being unable to connect to the database. I assume this means that cpg IS normally connecting OK.

3) Uploaded a known good backup version of cpg. No different.

I realise this is probably not a problem with cpg but with my web host, but I wondered if you could give me any pointers as to what might be causing the "Fatal Error" condition, and where I should be looking ?

Grateful for any help.

Stop guessing and enable debug mode.

Nibbler,

OK, I watched the tutorial and just used PHPMyAdmin to set the debug mode in the database.

But how to I get cpg into debug mode. All I ever see is the blank page with the Fatal Error message, so there's no way I can log in as Admin?

You didn't actually enable debug mode. Make sure you modified the correct table in the correct database on the correct server in the correct way. Correctly.

Nibbler,

I'm now getting totally confused. I only have one database on this account and the debug mode IS set to 1.

I'm a bit out of my depth here, but could the  migration have resulted in the web site running on one server and the database on a different one?

Possible but unlikely. Either PM me with your details so I can check it for you or contact your host.

Nibbler, just took another look at the database thru PHPMyAdmin and noticed that there were only 17 tables instead of the usual 20. There had definitely been 20 earlier today.

I "dropped" all 17 tables manually - my control panel wont let me drop the whole database and then re-create it!

Imported my sql back-up - this time all 20 tables are there and the web pages are working perfectly.

Thanks for helping even though it wasn't a cpg problem - I appreciate it!
