Migration issues

[ellenvandrunen]

Hi,

 

I am running PS 1.6.1.5 on a test-environment. We wanted to migrate to production, but before we do so, we would like to make a copy of the test-environment, in case things go wrong. Like a migration test. This is what we've done so far:

 

1. backup database and restore to new database

2. copy all files with ftp and paste to new folder on the same server

3. changed folder settings (CHMOD 755):

• ~/config/
• ~/cache/
• ~/cache/smarty/cache/
• ~/cache/smarty/compiler/
• ~/log/
• ~/img/
• ~/mails/
• ~/modules/
• ~/override/
• ~/themes/{theme naam}/lang/
• ~/themes/{theme naam}/pdf/lang/
• ~/themes/{theme naam}/cache/
• ~/translations/
• ~/upload/
• ~/download/
• ~/sitemap.xml

4. changed settings in settings.inc.php

1. define('_DB_SERVER_', '');
2. define('_DB_NAME_', ''); 
3. define('_DB_USER_', '');
4. define('_DB_PASSWD_', '');
5. define('_DB_PREFIX_', '');

 

5. Changed database settings in prefix_configuration:

 

• PS_SHOP_DOMAIN
• PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL

 

We made sure the PHP is the same as in the running test version.

 

Both frontend and backend have a blank page... or sometimes showing a 500 error.

 

So, we did the following:

 

Connected the running PS shop to the new database > same error: blank page

 

We have no clue how to resolve this and we don't want to migrate to production, before we are able to migrate to another location.

 

We have been looking for a solution for 2 days now, and don't even know what to Google for anymore. It's very frustrating, so I hope someone can help us here.

 

Thanks, Ellen

Please check the server log for detailed reason of 500 error.
