Been Migrated - Now my Forums will not work!

[babylon85]

Hello

I have just been upgraded/being upgraded in the last few hours, now both of my forums on my space will not work/partially working.

URLS

http://boards.sigassociation.org - running v2.1.6 of Invision Power Board, links and pages not working

http://sf.sigassociation.org - running v2.0.20 of phpBB, not working what so ever

On the migration page it shows my account as 'migrated' - so has it been completed, or is it still being done now (mind you I recieved an email to say it was being migrated at 02:05am BST today).

TIA

similar issues with my phpbb forums http://www.elffinarts.com/forum/ cant log in now

gallery2 pages http://photo.elffinarts.com/ my print store is a total blank

my zen gallery http://www.elffinarts.com/pic/ has varied between random drops of
some pics to full sections missing to now just a couple of shots missing again.

thing is, I had never logged in to do the migration in the first place all these issues popped up about 3-5hours ago.

then, when I logged in to OPS, the migration tool preview for the results showed a snapshot of how the site was over a fortnight ago. So, I'm have no idea what is going on.

Same issue with me... can't login... blank page.

elffinarts and stevusThese aren't migration issues, but Legacy server problems. See the Outages forums. http://forum.powweb.com/showthread.php?t=66320

[elffinarts]

thanks, wouldnt have guessed it with all this migration going on... and thankfully some of the services are back up and running.

the migration issue with the old snapshot still worries me though. I ran the refresh tool but it isnt capturing the new image of my site files.

Whilst problems are persisting it isn't a good thing to try running the migration tools.

We were auto migrated last night and the Kiosk states we failed. We have a very basic site but things do happen.

The weirdness is the kiosk states they will retry and the date for retry is last month, whats up??

I have the same problem with our forum since being migrated yesterday. Running Invision Power Board 2.1.4

Called Powweb tech support today and the guy tried to tell me it is Invision Power Board issue. My forum was working perfectly before it was migrated! Now the posts aren't showing up and you have to use your complete email address to be able to login where as before you only have to type in your username.

If they don't fix this I will take my site to xxxxx Host. :mad:

[babylon85]

Just to let you know - http://boards.sigassociation.org has mysteriously started to work again, after I changed something (not sure if that made it work though), but http://sf.sigassociation.org is exactly the same

Sahara - v2.1.6 is the latest IPB, download it from your customer service CP at Invision! v2.1.4 does have one or two bugs in it

My phpbb installation is having the problem on the new platform. http://aviation.poddu.com. My site is not migrated yet, I chose the manual path, and am testing all my subdomains by using the IP address given by support.

On the old platform, phpbb is working fine now. On the new test bed, the forum opens up, all topics and messages are visible, but doing a login gives a blank page.

I had the same problem with GalleryV1, and I had to make the following changes for it to work:
1. In config.php, change /usr/local/bin for some of the tools to /usr/bin
2. In config.php, change the old path name to new paths
3. Copy the server php.ini and add custom sessions.save_path and upload_tmp_dir

I just cannot figure out what's happening with phpbb now.

Still testing the manual path migration on my site. I still cannot login to phpbb.

I'm seeing a whole bunch of errors in the cgi_error_log. They're coming from phpbb, which I'm not able to login anyways.

The errors are like this one below, with the first 2 lines exactly the same, but the 3rd line could have different filenames and line numbers.

PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /PATH_TO_PHPBB_INSTALL/language/lang_english/lang_main.php:1087) in /PATH_TO_PHPBB_INSTALL/htdocs/includes/sessions.php on line 259

See this thread and check your file. Maybe it's the same problem.

Arl,

While on the phone with powweb support (again) I ftp'd into the site and took a look at the first line of php and sure enough "" was before the script. Now I compared this to a site that hasn't been migrated yet and my other site has this as well yet the form works. Well, I figured I'd take it out and see what happens and guess what... It works perfectly! Strange it worked before the migration with those symbols before the first line and not after but I must say, "Thanks for the heads up!" Very happy now, I can get some sleep tonight :)

I looked into many of the php files and couldn't find any file with 1st line blank or with the junk characters, they all have <?php.

So what else? A little deep thinking for this one. Here's he earlier error again:

PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started
at /PATH_TO_PHPBB_INSTALL/language/lang_english/lang_main.php:1087)
in /PATH_TO_PHPBB_INSTALL/htdocs/includes/sessions.php on line 259


I opened this file lang_main.php and find that the file has 2 blank lines at the end - after the ?> - I remove those 2 blank lines, make the ?> the last line, and WHOOOPPYY!!! The phpbb login now works.

The error message was very accurate about the line number, only that it's not a friendly error message. It comes down to this: in php files, the first line should be <?php and the last line should be ?>.

well, congratulation. but it's not neccessary that the first line is <?php and the last line is ?> (it's just for a clear view). A script could be look like this
<? echo "Hello, world!"; ?>
and still works fine.
I think that 2 blank lines contained junk characters (CR only instead of CRLF).
