migrating prestashop to newer server

[nuttiem]

Hi,

 

I've migrated my prestashop to a newer server setup but it seems it's not working completely.

 

in Internet Explorer I just got a 500, however in chrome the front works, the admin will just load the login form but it doesn't continue after inputting the login. It just seems to reload the login page without any given errors.

 

In Firefox the front gives a 404, but the admin just gives me a blank page (assumingly a hidden 500)

 

I've tried most solutions on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11335073/prestashop-cant-login-in-admin

 

 

Anyone has got a clue where to continue search?

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Dimitri

Greetings,

 

I wanted to give out the solution if maybe other people would encounter migration issues.

 

Because I moved from rather old config to brand new server setup (PHP version: 5.4.41-0; MySQL version: 5.5.43-0) there were actually many things that could go wrong 8-)

 

Other info: I just changed DNS, so all references to domain name stayed the same - tip be patient with DNS :-D

 

The main issue was the php module MCRYPT was not installed yet on my new server, so if you're moving to a new environment check your php configuration and make sure you have all modules installed!

 

Also during moving the .htaccess file got lost during create/extract .tar.gz files

 

 

Also changing the cookie.php file helped to fasten up issues 

 

cheers!
