justcallme5000 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hoping I can get some assistance with this. I have a client with a site running 2.5.3 that wishes to leave their current host and use my rackspace host. I've used the site export module and downloaded the backup through FTP. The current host has sent me a backup of the SQL database to restore. After following the directions, I'm receiving many errors. I'm thinking this is due to the different versions (I can only find version 2.6.1. Is there something I'm missing in performing this migration?

Sergio Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hi! Maybe the Installation, Moving and Troubleshooting post can help you: https://processwire.com/docs/tutorials/installation-moving-and-troubleshooting/ Update: I forgot to say that you can download any previous versions on Github: 2.5.3 -> https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/tree/2.5.3 Direct link for download: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/archive/2.5.3.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanze Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 What errors you get? I'd suggest to generate a .zip file of the whole installation. Download it, reupload and unzip it on the new server. Then you need to modify the database credentials in the config. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcallme5000 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thanks guys. I'll try these out and see where I end up. Wanze, I didn't think to screenshot the errors, but I will make sure to do so on my next go round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcallme5000 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I was able to get things going after coordinating with the current host. I'm still seeing errors, however. Is the proper etiquette to continue this thread or open a new one? http://www.gocapitolequipment.com.php54-2.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostKobrakai Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 You can always continue on in your own topic. I'd only open a new thread if it's really about something else all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcallme5000 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Good to know. The error i'm getting now is: Fatal error: Call to a member function numChildren() on a non-object in /mnt/stor2-wc1-dfw1/393818/949238/www.gocapitolequipment.com/web/content/wire/core/Pages.php on line 754 My code-fu is nowhere near strong enough to make sense of what I should do here.

pwired Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 When ever I had this error message I simply did a google/processwire search on "call to a member function ... on a non-object ... on line" and found the solution. I am sure this will work in your case also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
