Surely someone can recommend me a person to make upgrades and fix some problems that have arose after changing servers? Thanks!

what do you need? maybe you noticed that I'm trying to do my best and help people on forum, so maybe I can help you...

Well, maybe a dumb question, but we changed servers and now my auth.net doesn't work. Server went from Linux to Windows - but I don't know if that matters. Also, my shipping module doesn't compute International anymore. So they are always choosing $8.10 flat rate which is NOT accurate.

 

My guy from the new hosting company worked on it for a couple weeks and couldn't find the answer, so he officially turned it back over to me. And I know basically very little. It's not that I don't WISH to fix it myself, but if he couldn't, then I guess I'm assuming that I couldn't either. I'd LOVE to be able to, though, so as not to make extra expenditures.

yup, it's possible that windows server is causing problems, we could set up test page on my linux server and try everything there..

If you're willing to walk me thru that, I'm game. And then, if that is the case, how do I fix?

Thanks!

Abby, did you download a backup of your Database before changing servers? Also, did you copy your old settings from your configure.php file and then make the neccessary adjustments to this file to work with you new server?

 

Basically, you will want to follow these simple steps towards a sucessful migrations:

1. make a backup of your database (complete)

2. ftp (download) all of your store's files to your PC (home computer)

3. ftp (upload) all of yours store's files to the new server

4. add your database backup to your new server using PHPMYAdmin

5. modify your catalog/includes/configure.php to reflect your new server settings

6. modify your catalog/admin/includes/configure.php to reflect your new server settings

 

Good luck,

Bill Kellum

Bill - I didn't do it, so I don't know what was done. I let my host take care of it all. She used to own this store, and set it all up originally, so I assumed she knew what to do. Now I'm stuck with what was done.

 

Eroller - what info/link/whatever do you need to test it?
