I have been asked to move a silverlight site from one host to another. I have been told that this is easy, but its not working. I was given a zip of all the files, and the database and instructions on adding a couple of mime types. We created teh db/user as per the config file.
The original site is still live, so that's good. However, all we get on the new site is 'forbidden' at every level except the root which shows (an incomplete) list.
We are 90% sure the db is set up correctly and the mime types too.
We notice that the config file is down inside www/mysite and is called _config.php - is this ok?
I am guessing that we have missed something very obvious. Any ideas please?
It's a newby suggestion, but maybe you forgot to reset the file permissions? Try sudo chmod 700
If that doesn't solve the issue, then please give the complete error.
I got the same problem after publish my Silverlight application. In my case, there was not set default document on web.config, or you can just config in IIS.

I would like to change the theme file through the Wordpress Admin Panel, in menu Appearance > Theme Editor, but I've got the message:
Something went wrong. Your change may not have been saved. Please try again. There is also a chance that you may need to manually fix and upload the file over FTP.
Everything was working correctly before I've made some changes in the file and upload it through the FTP back to the server. I am able to change every other file in Theme Editor, but this one. The rights are the same as in other files I am able to change, the owner and group are the same too. It looks that everything should work, but this and only this one file I have updated via FTP I am not able to change through the Theme Editor of Wordpress Admin Panel.
Any idea what could be possibly wrong? What I have done wrong? Please help me somebody, in the most of the time I am on the "safe" network, and the server FTP is not accessible from my computer.
Thank you.
Check Theme Permission
One of the first things you got to check the theme files and folder permissions.
If you are running on shared hosting then mostly it would be alright. However, if using VPS or Cloud then you got to ensure the same user owns theme files as web server (Nginx or Apache HTTP) running.
Modify File Permissions with chmod
FYR :- https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/tools/modify-file-permissions-with-chmod/
Check Security Plugins
Are you using any security plugins? Do you have the option to check their logs to see how exactly your request is being treated?
Alternatively, you can quickly disable the security plugin and verify if that works.
I have finally solved the problem. There were two things with I have mislead my question.
The first one was that I wrote "Everything was working correctly before I've made some changes in the file and upload it through the FTP" and after that I wrote it again in the comment of the answer - I was so sure that I have tried the same file before, but I have not, it definitely was another one, I am sorry.
And the second was that I did not write specific file name. The file was includes/_wp_utils.php. Somebody would maybe notice that this is the biggest file in that directory. And that was the problem. I do not know why - maybe it was too big for server processing or something else (120KB), but I noticed it later, and I have tried to split the file to a few smaller files and I have included them into the includes/_wp_utils.php with the command include_once __DIR__ . '/_wp_utils/_nth_part_of_original_wp_utils.php';.
Thank you #G.D Udara Lahiru Sampath, I absolutely liked your answer. It was useful and very important to check.
I'm working locally with XAMPP and Wordpress and I'm struggling with what is probably a very basic config issue. I'm not a professional IT guy, just a hobbyist hacker so I apologise in advance if I'm being a bit dumb but hopefully somebody can kindly offer some assistance here.
I've installed xampp locally on my iMac. I've then installed wordpress using the xampp wordpress installation package. Both seem to be working fine. To test the web server I created a simple .php test file and this generated the expected output when I entered "localhost/hello.php" into my browser. As far as wordpress is concerned entering "localhost/wordpress" gives me access the local wp interface to create and edit posts, change display settings etc etc. So far so good...
Now I want to create a new .php file that includes the instruction:
require('XXX/wp-blog-header.php')
where the "XXX" is obviously the relevant directory path for the wp header file.
I cannot find this file, or indeed local wordpress files, anywhere (and I've searched extensively). In the "home" location for "localhost" (which I know from my "hello.php" test) there isn't even a wordpress directory so I'm totally puzzled as to how typing "localhost/wordpress" in my browser is accessing the local wp installation or how to go about determining the correct directory path for the wp header file I'm looking for?
I do understand that with this stack a great deal of info will either be generated on the fly, or stored in the local mysql database as opposed to the file structure, but I thought I would find some reference or alias somewhere to help me trace this through and determine what path to include in my .php file for wp-blog-header.php.
I've searched this forum and while there are several related questions I haven't found anything that helps me with this particular issue.
Thanks vm,
Ian
The location of your Wordpress files is:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress
Ok I found the path I needed and (partially) understand why I couldn't locate it. As Scriptonomy helped me identify the Wordpress files are held at:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress
While my test.php file is held at:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/test.php
The reason I couldn't locate either wp-blog-header.php or wp-load.php is because these there is an another "htdocs" sub-dir under the wordpress install location i.e.:
../apps/wordpress/htdocs
However I (as user "admin") don't have access to read this directory and so couldn't see the contents and therefore couldn't find the files. The permissions on the directory belong to "daemon" which I guess was the XAMPP installer package? Setting the directory path in my test.php file to:
../apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-load.php
somehow the web server (?) can read the file (even though I can't see it myself via the Finder application) and so the code is now giving the expected result.
So problem solved even if I don't quite understand the solution!
Thanks for replies which helped me eventually get to a solution!
Cheers,
Ian
i want to transfer wordpress website from one hosting provider to another. i try also transfer but after transfer i can not change the Permalink.i change the Permalink from default to Post name. but err shown ...
"404 Not Found"
set old-domain to new-domain in guid column in the wp-post table in WordPress database
And also change the siteurl and home in wp-option table.
check below link
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-links-in-old-posts-when-things-change
There are a number of things that could be wrong. Usually this error occurs when there is no .htaccess file present, or it's not configured correctly. (Keep in mind: if you new host is not running Apache, then you're not dealing with .htaccess altogether) It might also be that mod_rewrite is not set.
First thing to try though: set your permalinks back to default, or date and save it. Then set it back to pretty permalinks with %postname% and save it. Quite often this actually solves your issue in case the correct accessfile is actually present. :')
It also depends on whether you have changed the domain?
Look at this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
i think problem is in your database replacement.
please try this link Click here to download file and relapse your database.
before run this file make backup your database.
following this step.
i)uplode download file in your folder(root folder eg.wp-config.php location).
ii)run this folder.
iii)first run as dry run.if any change is found than run as live.
For me, only way you should ever do it if you at least don't have solid server-side knowledge is using All-in-one WP Migration plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/
It allows you to export your database, media files, plugins, and themes. You can apply unlimited find/replace operations on your database and the plugin will also fix any serialization problems that occur during find/replace operations.
There is a WordPress plugin called duplicator. Using this plugin we can transfer WordPress website from one host to another. I think this is the simple and easy way to transfer WordPress sit. Here is the link.
All of a sudden, my SMF powered forum has stopped working.
In fact, PHP files no longer seem to want to open on my website. I tried uploading a blank PHP file with just a few characters of text, and it refuses to open giving the error below.
I also tried a PHPinfo file, which didnt work, giving the same error. Other sites on the same server are working.
Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/home/users/a/n/mysite/www/index1.php' (include_path='.') in Unknown on line 0
Any ideas about whats gone wrong?
Just an idea. As it happens to all php files that could to what i know only mean 2 things.
Either there is somekind of error on the php extension.
OR what it most likely is, is that SMF uses a .htaccess to make user friendly links. Which means all requests to the server no matter what (Unless specified in the .htaccess) will be sent to index.php and then be handled.
So if there is a error in the index.php or the library of some sort it would explain why no matter what php file you're looking at it gives the error.
-
One thing you could do is to take a backup of all your images in the system. Then try to install a fresh version on your local machine. Once done copy/past the images back and copy all the current php files for SMF and replace the current ones on your host with them.
-
Haven't used SMF much so I'm not sure this is the solution at all. But to me it sounds like a solution.
It seems you have broken your root document.
do chmod 755 index1.php
and it should solve the problem.
You should check the php.ini or php5.ini file. I don't believe the single ticks around '.' for the include_path are valid. Double quotes will work however.
It seems you have been hacked:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-unknown-failed-opening-required-google_verifyphp
Ahh sorry reread the question. I guess this is what you may try.
Check your file permissions. by default if your web server can not read files thats what you are going to get. I could be wrong but worth having a look
so just chmod your root folder to say 755 atleast
I have just moved my CodeIgniter project to a new server and now I'm getting a 500 error and no output from the project. It works fine on my old server and in my test environment. I'm completely stumped how to troubleshoot this, especially as there's nothing of use in the log files. Any help would be great!
Well, this is embarrassing. I was missing php-mysql. CodeIgniter wasn't logging the fact that it couldn't find it, nothing was appearing in /var/log/messages. Installed it and suddenly, it works. Thanks all for your answers.
I get this problem on my live server with SuPHP. To avoid it, all PHP files must have permissions 0644, and directories 0755.
To do this without a headache, do one of the following:
Get an FTP client that will upload using permissions you specify
Find a PHP script that will change permissions, based on filtering criteria, after upload
Get shell access to your host!
Some ideas for you:
Are you sure there is nothing in the log files? Have you checked both the web server's log files as well as the system logs (EG: /var/log/messages)? Have you checked all of the logs enabled in php.ini?
Double-check your CI configuration settings. Perhaps you are pointing to the wrong database?
Have you confirmed that a basic PHP script <?phpinfo(); ?> works? This would isolate the problem to CI
Most likely you have not specified the base url for the new location, you can set it from file:
/system/config/config.php
at line:
$config['base_url'] = 'your new url here';
have you try load a new CodeIgniter project, and try to load in ur test environment? is it work?
From my experiment 500 error normally due with web server problem. But from what your said you didn't have any .htaccess. You better try just load a clean CI project and see your webserver OK or not.
