I switched host but my now my site is broken

Hi I have moveed my drupal installation from my old host startlogic (no a good host) to a new company byethost. who seem to provide a really good package for only $3 a month.

The problem is that I have transferred all files and directories and copied the dtabase and configured the new db access string. but when accessing the site wearecion.org I dont see any content which is dynamically produced by the HTML. if you go there you'll see things like {block.blah} code blocks which are PHP varianables just being printed and not being substituted with the corret code.

MySQL LOCK

I am a total newbie around all web stuff in general, but I've done some looking around and I think that I want to use Drupal for my site. But, when I asked the place I've chosen for hosting (Surpass) they said that Drupal is compatable, except for some features which require MySQL LOCK, which they dont support. Can anyone tell me what MySQL LOCK is? Is it nessecary, And is there a recommended host that supports everything?
I'm looking to start a discussion site, with forums as the main feature, as well as a news page that can be updated at will by members of staff...

tweaking htaccess for mod rewrite and clean urls with Donhost

Hi Guys,

I got stuck with trying to get clean urls working with a DONHOST server account recently and thought I would post up here in case it helps others with a similar problem.

For reference, the donhost account I had problems with was Apache (Version 2.0.55), PHP Interface CGI with PHP Version 5.1.2.

The out-of-the-box .htaccess that comes with Drupal has always got Clean Urls working for me without any modification in the past, but, on the DONHOST server it returned an "Internal server error" when trying to run the Clean Urls test on the Admin -> Settings page.

To compound the problem MOD_REWRITE (the apache module that automatically catches links and returns clean urls) wasn't showing up using a simple PHPINFO.PHP file. The host was insisting mod_rewrite was installed and enabled and because it wasn't showing in phpinfo, I assumed it wasn't.

Anyways. I'm not a server/apache expert but the way I got around it was to un comment the rewrite base line in the .htaccess file:

# Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory and
# the rewrite rules are not working properly.
# RewriteBase /drupal 

So I ended up with this:

Swithced Hosts: Moving to Netfirms with my Drupal sites

This post is going to be a record of my trials and tribulations with the transferring of sites from one hosting company to another along with the creation of a couple more sites.
After getting pretty fed up with my existing hosting company, I did some digging and have decided to switch over to Netfirms. It was their multiple site hosting under one account capabilities that won me over.
I started transferring domains and uploading sites this week and ran into my first glitch last night. I registered a new domain, created a new database, added a new directory to /sites/ folder and edited the settings.php file to connect to the new database. I browsed to the URL, and all looked good, there was the page telling me to create the first user. So I entered a user name and password, and Drupal spit back a page telling me "Sorry, unrecognized username or password. Have you forgotten your password?".

cPanel WHM Apache PHP MySQL

Always hosted my own servers but have the urge to go virtual.

I have a few dozen web customers and we are focusing on Drupal for all new sites.

The total server load is small. <20GB storage, <100GB per month. load average < 0.50 on a modest AMD 64.

Has anyone ever used Vista Pages

In my search for a hosting provider for someone I ran across vistapages.com. Has anyone here ever use them and if so what do you think of them? I have become rather disappointed with the response time of 1and1's servers, but they also offer one of the most competitive pricing plans. I did visit a few sites hosted by them and the response time was very good.

So I'm just curious, how does drupal run on their servers? Anybody?
