newbie Changed hosts, all is well except...
Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 2:36 pm
Hi, I hope this is the right area for my question. I recently changed hosts for my website that is driven by php and mysql. The site has a members area with a login.
I was able to change all of the instances of :
1. The mysql db name - changed to new name
2. The mysql db password - changed to new PW
3. The mysql db server - changed to "localhost" (db is on my new server)
4. The server root - changed to new root.
The site displays properly, however, when you click "login" it doesn't matter if you put a user/password or not into the fields, when you hit enter, it only reloads the login page. No login, no error message
I have checked the files on the old server and they work.
I have compared the files on each server and they are identical, as far as I can tell (except PW, user etc)
My question is, what things need to be considered when changing hosts?
Thanks for any help, very much.
