[How to migrate to a new web host]

Oh sorry. Is there anything I can do to try and save my work which I have done so far?

There is no telling - especially with you being on a free host. You would be better served installing phpVMS locally on your computer using Wamp or Xxamp. This would also allow complete control over what PHP version you use with phpVMS 5.5.2

As I mentioned previously, if local.config is empty, your installation is compromised. And chances of everything working as they should are slim. Also, going to paid hosting later will require extra work in bringing your present install up to the necessary standards to make it work correctly.

So what do you suggest I do?

Basically, yes. But local.config.php also contains important info on how to connect to your database. That info should not be in app.config.php. The app.config.php file is a base file and should not be changed or added to.

What PHP version is your free host using? 

The thing is that my local.config.php is completely empty. However, I’ve checked app.config.php for DB info etc and  it’s definitely not in there. Where could it be? I am running PHP 5.5.

I think I understand now. Is it not correct that although my local.config.php is empty, whenever I want to change a setting I should copy and paste it into local.config.php and then change it?

What version of PHP is your free hosting using?

Site URL?

tcxvirtual.epizy.com - I will buy a domain once I finish developing

[[SKIN][Free] iCrew LITE skin 2018 designed for phpVMS]

Hello - I’m having issues with iCrew LITE. Overall, it’s a good skin but still with plenty of bugs.

-How can I make the Gallery pages work? Currently, I get an error saying that the screenshots module doesn’t exist.

-The set profile picture option in settings doesn’t work. You are able to select an image, but it has no effect.

Thanks!

Then your installation is done incorrectly.

You NEVER add to or change anything in app.config.php - any additions or changes are done to local.config.php . 

I think I know why - the default installation was not working for me so I tried this: https://github.com/DavidJClark/phpvms_5.5.x 

Maybe it works differently

Be sure you are looking at the correct file and location. The local.config.php is located in .../core/

If the local.config.php was empty, the site wouldn't even load - as the database access code is located in local.config.php

I assure you, it is completely empty. So far all of that stuff has been in app.config.php i think.

Compress the folder where you have your phpvms files, and export sql database.

In your new hosting: upload and unzip the folder and import sql database (you can use phpmyadmin)

Be sure that change URL, DB name, user and password on core/local.config.php

and captcha keys on core/app.config.php

I have a question relating to that:

My local.config.php file is completely empty. Why?

[How to migrate to a new web host]

Hi,

I have been using PHPVMS on a free web host for testing, and I’m thinking about the future when I come to upgrade to paid hosting.

How do I migrate to a new web host without loosing data?

Thanks for your suggestions!

Either way, I'd strongly recommend NOT using a free webhost. You want a successful VA but don't want to pay a single penny? ...Yeah, that's not a good start dude.

Allow me to quote part of my original question:

Moved to phpVMS Classic (v2, v5.5.x), Support Forum as your listed errors relate to those versions.

Free hosting is never a good choice for phpVMS.

Which exact classic version did you attempt to install? What PHP version are you using?

I've solved my problems pretty much now - someone PM'd me and recommended a version by DavidJClarke which works perfectly.

[000Webhost Errors]

Hi,

I recently discovered PHPVMS. Before I take the decision to buy hosting, I wanted to try and set it up using free hosting. I have spent all morning trying to set it up using 000webhost.com, but I only get as far as running the installation script - when I try to I see these errors: 

Warning: include(core/codon.config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /storage/ssd4/969/12445969/public_html/index.php on line 40

Warning: include(core/codon.config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /storage/ssd4/969/12445969/public_html/index.php on line 40

Warning: include(): Failed opening 'core/codon.config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /storage/ssd4/969/12445969/public_html/index.php on line 40

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Config' not found in /storage/ssd4/969/12445969/public_html/index.php:42 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /storage/ssd4/969/12445969/public_html/index.php on line 42

Does anyone know how I can fix them? I have read that free hosting can be temperamental, so is there any better services than 000webhost?

I have tried with both v7 and classic.

Thanks!
