This should be all you need to do:

 

Install the database on the new server

Upload the files to the new server

Change both configure files to point to the new database and directory the files are in

Point the domain name to the new server

The path in the configure file is probably not correct for the new server. You'll need to ask your host what the correct path is.

Hi there,

 

I have moved my entire site from a cPanel/WHM server to a Plesk server

 

everything is working so far

 

only thing

 

I receive an error message in the admin section

 

Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /home/breinlin/public_html/images/ (path of cPanel/WHM)

 

 

I have edited path in /admin/configuration.php to /src/www/vhosts/breinling.com/httpdocs (path of Plesk)

 

but the error message is still showing

 

whereelse do I have to change path?

 

thanks

Uni
