View Full Version : Moving hosts - trying to get vB up before DNS propagates

I tried this question at Vbulletin.com but might get disregarded because I have a vbAdvanced - hacked script! ;)

I am moving hosts and I am trying to get my existing forum up and running before the DNS propagates and confirm that everything is working.

I was able to have the server username set up the same on the new host, so when I did a complete site restore using cpanel most all the other scripts and mysql came up fine using the existing db connections and names.

vbulletin was one that did not. When I browse to the forum's url using a numeric IP, I am just getting a blank page (same for cmps_index.php)



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

I am sure the MYSQL connections are correct and that I have the correct address.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Regards,

Matt

It could be a number of things... You'd probably be better off asking your host.

It turned out to be

a phpinclude that was misbehaving. I have seen that before and I should remember! Now I have a question - why in the world does the admincp use a template that parses phpinclude_top? They ought to let you select a true style for your admin cp. Not simply a logo and css or whatever they call those admin flavors, but a specific styleid.
