Beginner Deploying PW Site

Hi,

So I am a complete beginner with PW, just finishing up my first site, and I need to get my site online to do some final testing. Got all the FTP stuff sorted and I'm getting a internal server error when access my domain.

I transferred over all files from processwire-master, and even when I am on local host I get sent to the index of my site, where I then click on processwire-master to be taken to my site.

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks!

... and check the contents of the .htaccess file.

There are some comments about this. Search for "500 NOTE" in the .htaccess file.

What about the database? Copied it? appropriate login/password?

The easiest way for you to migrate your site will probably be using an export of your site - a so called site profile.

Please install the module Site Profile Exporter and and create a new export.

Afterwards you can install your exported site on your new host.

Just upload ProcessWire, your site profile and install it as usual.

It's indeed an awesome module.

But to be honest... in my opinion it's a module for advanced (ProcessWire) users.

There are a few steps to be taken and you have to have some more routine in installing and handling ProcessWire instances.

Moving a PW site is a breeze, even without any special tools. Here's how: https://processwire.com/docs/tutorials/installation-moving-and-troubleshooting/

I would love to agree but I can't in this special case.

For a developer with some years of experience and knowledge this should be a no-brainer. Absolutely true.

But for those who just started with (web) development and have all their database stuff in phpMyAdmin it might be not.

Clean cache and sessions and then it is as simple as 1 2 3

1)  move over site folder
2)  import database
3)  adapt config file

Make sure you have debug mode turned on - you might get a meaningful error that way.

      How to list Child Pages blog style
      By sam-vital
      Hi,
      I'm creating a News/Updates section for a client and they would like the 3 most recent Updates previewed on the home screen. So this would be Title and Date Posted. These blog posts will be child pages of a News and Updates page, which is a child of the Home page. So it's like Home -> News -> Blog posts. I don't need this to be a nav menu, just something to show the newest updates.
      All help is appreciated 🙂

      Troubles with Database Setup
      By sam-vital
      Hi,
      I'm trying to setup up ProceesWire for a site I am working on, and I'm having troubles with the Database section.
      I get these errors :
      Database connection information did not work.
       SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user
      I also cannot connect to phpMyAdmin, Xampp is what I am using as my stack.
      None of these errors have occurred before which is annoying me to say the least.
      Help is appreciated 🙂

      Connection refused error
      By sam-vital
      Hi,
      So I'm working on my site, getting round to completing it. I remember that I haven't checked at all what it will be like on other devices, so that's my next task.
      I went to the index page and I get hit with this error:
      Fatal error: Exception: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused (in /var/sites/b/mysite.org/public_html/wire/core/ProcessWire.php line 377) #0 /var/sites/b/mysite.org/public_html/wire/core/ProcessWire.php(209): ProcessWire\ProcessWire->load(Object(ProcessWire\Config)) #1 /var/sites/b/mysite.org/public_html/index.php(52): ProcessWire\ProcessWire->__construct(Object(ProcessWire\Config)) #2 {main} in /var/sites/b/mysite.org/public_html/index.phpon line 64
      All I have done from the last code update was change a links target to blank, pushed the update and tested it. Now my site is broken? Went back and changed to the original file and I'm still getting the error.
      I really don't understand what has happened. I am an ok {6 months} web developer with this being my first experience of PW.
      All help is appreciated 🙂

      Can someone explain these DB Name fields etc please
      By sudodo
      I'm not sure that I really follow this page;
      http://imgur.com/a/hCxqg
      I've created a database when setting up the server, so I'm presuming that this
      is what's being asked for here?
      The page linked for getting setup 
      http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-install-and-setup-processwire-cms--cms-25509
      doesn't really mention anything about these fields.
      After trying to use the user name on the server, and the password that I entered
      when setting up the mySQL to start with I got the following error (so I had
      filled in "DB Name"={some name that I thought up }, "DB user" = {name of user on
      server}, "DB pass" = {pass i set up for mySQL});
      http://imgur.com/a/cgFKq
      After this i tried using
      db name; {whatever}
      db user; {name of user on server}
      db pass; {password for user on server}
      This didn't work either, so I'm not sure what I'm meant to put here.

      "/site/config.php must be writable" < only works with permissions set to 777
      By sudodo
      777 seems excessive - is there something that I'm missing here?
      This is a print out of the /site content;
      ```
      total 28
      drwxrwxr-x 6 geot geot 4096 Sep  9 13:30 .
      drwxrwxr-x 8 geot geot 4096 Sep  9 13:17 ..
      drwxrwxr-x 2 geot geot 4096 Sep  6 10:10 assets
      -rwxrwxrwx 1 geot geot 1548 Sep  6 10:10 config.php
      drwxrwxr-x 3 geot geot 4096 Sep  6 10:10 install
      drwxrwxr-x 2 geot geot 4096 Sep  6 10:10 modules
      drwxrwxr-x 5 geot geot 4096 Sep  6 10:10 templates
      ```
      I'm sure that I shouldn't have to have permissions so high, but I'm pretty new
      to this.

      Here's a shot of the setup that I'm currently going through;

      http://imgur.com/a/WkhAX

      You can see that the error (for site/config.php) is no longer there with these
      permissions, but they still 'feel' wrong.
      Thanks
