change of folder, now cant login :(

[benbyf]

Hi Guys,

have a site in a sub-domain /blog/ and moved it out to / and the site works but the admin section wont allow me to login, wondering if this is usual and if there would be any reason for this? I've moved the .htaccess file with the site and checked the password is correct in the database.

Any help would be awesome, thanks

Check that site/assets/sessions dir is still writable. Those folder permissions can go wrong when moving/copying stuff.

Same check for other folders in /assets/ too!

cheers! whats the correct permissions as default?

ok, so can login now but.... the admin section is empty, not displaying anything. mentals.

ok scrap that, still cant login - sessions is at 777 and all files below 755

Try these permissions:

Files: 644

Folders: 755

How did you made the transition? It might help us spot problem.

What admin theme is that? Since that looks like incomplete output, if I saw that screenshot you are seeing, the first thing I would do is CTRL+A (select all) to see if any error messages were present. If there weren't any, then I'd either look at the error log (/site/assets/logs/errors.txt) or enable $config->debug=true; in /site/config.php. Then I'd try again. 

When you say you moved it from /blog/ to /, what specifically did you move (files/directories) and how did you move it? If I were to do that here, this is what I would move:

cd htdocs
mv ./blog/wire ./
mv ./blog/site ./
mv ./blog/index.php ./
mv ./blog/.htaccess ./
