We use for a few websites gl 1.5.1 and a few glfusion 1.0.2 and we have problems moving websites from one domain to another domain.

Before it was just copy the whole folder from one location to another, change the config files so they point to the right location and you where back in business. Now I changed siteconfig but I still get "This file can not be used on its own."

Richard, You will most likely have to use phpMyAdmin to go into your database and change all the domain names and paths to get this fixed. Its not as bad as you think. Once you have all that changed over in the gl_conf_values table of your database, then you should be able to pull your website up and make any other changes you want. See screen shot of what I mean.

Ironmax,

Thanks for your help, it did not worked out completely okay. Now I get "Unfortunately, an error has occurred rendering this page. Please try again later."

Okay let me explain what I did, on the same server and hosting account I moved a folder of a addon domain to another folder, it looks like /home/hosting/public_html/domain01.com and the new setup is /home/hosting/public_html/domain02.com

As the folder is a full copy, it is unlikely I forget anything, and the website was working okay before the move....

I'm bit with my hands in my hair, as I told my client that it was not much work.....

You will need to look at the error log to find out what caused this error.

From what you had written, it looks like you are still missing something. Verify your config.php file and also make sure you have all the permissions set correctly. Don't forget you have to make that path change in the lib-common.php file as well.
Text Formatted Code

/**
* Configuration Include: You should ONLY have to modify this line.
* Leave the rest of this file intact!
*
* Make sure to include the name of the config file,
* i.e. the path should end in .../config.php
*/
require_once( '/path/to/config.php' );

// Before we do anything else, check to ensure site is enabled

And what is this error? Put $_CONF['rootdebug'] = true into your siteconfig.php so you can find out what this error is.

Sounds like your theme is not updated. Its missing all or a good portion of the changes that were made since 1.5.0 came out. You will need to go into your database, in the gl_conf_values table and change the value under theme to professional.

That should get your site up and running. You may have to clear your cache file.

Until you get you theme nouveau updated, you will not be able to use that theme.

Okay...try this. Make a directory under your theme and call it custom. Then go from there.

Did you overlay Geeklog 1.5.1 over a version of glFusion? You can't do that. If you are upgrading/moving a glFusion site you need to ask for help on the glFusion.org website.

After I changed $_CONF['rootdebug'] = true, I get some more information, it now says....

Text Formatted Code
An error has occurred:
2 - require_once(english_utf-8.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory @ /home/travelto/public_html/girls/lib-common.php line 853


Of course the language files in the language folder are still there

Does that directory have read permissions?

Okay, the problem is fixed.....

The problem was, that somehow the location of the language files was wrong, even after I changed all path related values in my database. The solution which made it work was the fusionrescue.php tool from Mark of glfusion.org, with this tool I was able to change the language path and the site worked again.....

Okay. Not a problem. I was going under the assumption that you were running geeklog and not glFusion. Thats why I couldn't figure out why you were having issues. See jmucchiello's post a few postings up. Geeklog had at one time a version of nouveau theme that worked with geeklog version 141.
