I've setup a new VPS running CentOS 7 and Centminmod and cloudflare. After the install the default created index.html file loaded without issue using SSL (from Lets Encrypt) and all was good thus far.

Then I created a zip of all the files from the old server under PUBLIC as well as created a dump of the database.

Ran wget to download the zip and sql dump to the new centminmod server and unzipped and imported the database.

When I refreshed the new site the only thing that loaded was a blank page. Viewing source shows 1 line and it's blank.

I then remembered to update the config.php file under /src/ with the new database credentials and refreshed the page.

But again the site loads a blank page.

What am I missing or doing wrong? Any suggestions?

 

Thanks guys for the replies so far. I really think @hazehs is right, that it's a database issue, I'm just not sure what exactly I've done wrong.

During the copy from the old server to the new server I used the following command to compress the files:

Code:

tar -vcf backupfilename.tar .

Then did a wget on the new server to download the file and use the following command to expand the file:

Code:

tar -vxf backupfilename.tar

To dump the database file I did the following command:

Code:

mysqldump --user=homegar_us3r1 -p [database name] > [backup file name].sql

On the new Centminmod server I ran the following command to create a new database (I got it from a Centminmod, either a page or forum post - I can't remember exactly now)

Code:

/usr/local/src/centminmod/addons/mysqladmin_shell.sh createuserdb DATABASENAME DBUSER DBPASSWORD

Then used the following command to restore the dumped file from the old server:

Code:

mysql -u USER -p DATABASE < homebak.sql

In regards to file permissions I've ran the following commands as well:

Code:

touch /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/library/.autoprotect-bypass
touch /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/internal_data/.autoprotect-bypass
touch /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/install/data/.autoprotect-bypass
touch /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/install/templates/.autoprotect-bypass
touch /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/src/.autoprotect-bypass

find /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0644
find /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0755
find /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/internal_data/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0777
find /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/data/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0777
find /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/internal_data/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0777
find /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public/data/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0777
chmod 0755 /home/nginx/domains/MYOWNDOMAIN.com/public

Granted I did run all the commands on the new server using ROOT and not the FTP user I created during the vHost setup in the Centminmod (option 2).

So I believe the permissions are good. The config.php file in /src/ has the new database info that I created using the step I mentioned above, using mysqladmin_shell.sh.

My old setup used 127.0.0.1 for $config['db']['host'] and have tried that and localhost but both have made no difference.

I guess it could be file permissions but I am really under the impression that it's still a database issue.

 

I got it.

I added this line to the config.php file under /src/

Code:

$config['db']['socket'] = null;
