Opencart migration Shared hosting to VPS - hosting

I migrated my opencart website from shared hosting to VPS but it gives me an error. "Error: Could not load cache driver file cache!".
Please help!

You are missing the \system\library\cache directory in your OpenCart installation.
You can confirm this by looking here on your OpenCart setup:
[yourstore root]\system\library\cache\
I just ran into this problem myself, and found out my FTP client (Transmit on OS X) was "kindly" skipping over directories named cache when I was doing my upload of OpenCart. The cache directory in the system library contains the PHP files (apc.php, file.php and mem.php) which set up the various cache classes used by OpenCart.
Needless to say, when this is missing, you get that error.

+Moving CodeIgniter from live to local

Perhaps someone can share their experience or advise on how to get this accomplished.
I have looked around and found only a wiki entry dealing with server migration from host to host.
Here is the setup and things I have tried:
locally I am running win 10 with XAMPP server
hosted on hostgator
Downloaded all files from live site
Did an SQL dump/import onto my local mySQL
Edited ‘exp_sites’ for paths and URLs
Edited ‘config.php’ in system folder
Result:
- can not login into backend ...that is form refreshes but no redirect. I can tell that db is being queried since since I do get error back if it is a wrong password.
Anyone has done similar setups/downloads/takve-overs of their client’s site?
Ideally, I would just like the access to CP so I can edit the settings/paths of weblogs,uploads etc.
Thanks for your time!
Are you using CI default password library for password creation? If you are using then these passwords will not work for you because this library generate server dependent passwords.

Do you know if the problem is composer?
Do you know if i can use with out composer?
How?
thank you
Use Composer before you upload your code. Composer need not be executed on the server - in fact this is regarded more of a problem than a solution because it requires all package hosting servers to be up, and the command line tools for accessing version control systems be installed (at least as a fallback).
The recommended way to use Composer is to run it locally (or on a deployment machine that is local enough), let it fetch all files, create the autoloader, and then copy all the collected files to the target server.
This approach also resolves the problem with Composer requiring about 1GB of memory (or more, depending on how many packages have to be considered) when being run - if your web server has less memory installed, you won't be able to use Composer.

Theme not getting copied

I worked on a website and it was hosted on bigrock server. But the client want me to transfer into just host. I managed to copy all the stuffs, but the theme I installed into old server is not getting copied into new justhost server. Please help me out in this one.
more details maybe, maybe an error message or something?
But: I found it quite common for file permissions to be an issue when using straight copy/paste/move.
When moving anything like a cms or cart with potential file permission issues, I would through cpanel/UI compress the lot and then move or copy the .zip/.tar ; On new server unzip through cpanel/UI and previous permission are intact too.

how to bring live magento site to localhost without effecting live site

i want a live site to be on local host and without effecting any functionality of live magento site. i have tried many way of doing that but have not get any result from it.
steps i tried are :
1. taken database from magento live site by entering into cpanel(by ftp access) > phpmyadmin > exported all the files to my local machine and i imported all the data to my local phpmyadmin.
2.taken all neccessary files from cpanel > file manager > all files (for example p_html, .htpassword, .trash, access log, etc file and many more) and put it on my local machine and then i put the file in folder and kept it into C:\xampp\htdocs\ all file ( in folder ).
3 Replaced the path of live site with localhost:1234 in the all sql files where applicable taken in step one.
but still not working .
Any help will be appreciated....
Copy your LIVE Magento store to your Local computer:
Download the magento files using any ftp client.
Export the database from live server.
Put the downloaded Magento files in your localhost root folder.
Create a blank database(lets say it 'local-database') in your local computer and import the database backup that you exported from the live one.
Delete/Rename the file app/etc/local.xml
Re-install the Magento using the local-database.
After installation, go to Admin section and then
(i)Flush all cache. (ii)Re-Index all data. (iii)Flush all cache.
That's it. You are done.
N.B. If you have domain specific Modules installed, those modules will not work here.
Seems very simple right. Believe me, it is that simple.
If you face any problem in installing your Magento in localcomputer, here is a post that may come in handy: http://www.insync.co.in/how-to-install-magento-on-wamp-server-localhost-localcomputer/
Steps:
Download the files to the local project folder.
Create a new local DB and import the live database backup/dump.
Update app/etc/local.xml file with local DB parameters(Host name, DB
name, DB username, DB password)
Magento have the project URL saved in 2 places(secure URL and
unsecure URL) in the table core_config_data. We need to update
that in imported local DB to the local URL(9th and 10th record in
the table).
Delete the cache: Delete the contents in var folder(That folder
contains reports and logs too. I assume that you won't need it as
this is a separate installation)
The local copy will most probably work by now but there are possibilities that it would not. Things to do in this case:
If you are getting redirected to the live site, check the .htaccess
file for redirects(For various reasons there may be a redirect
defined in the file)
If you are getting forbidden error, this will come in handy(Usually occurs in linux systems)
There may still be some problems probably theme or module specific. In this case you will need to debug the project and find out what the problem is. Xdebug will come in handy in this situation for boosting the debug process :)
Subrata's solution will conflict with some of the Magento Modules installed and will not allow you to re-install Magento in local. I follow these steps and everything works fine.
Just give a permission (0777) after take a backup to that folder in your local PC
First of all you will have to change the secure and unsecure base_url in your database.
These can be found in the 'core_config_data' table.
Paths:
web/unsecure/base_url
web/secure/base_url
If you want to access your local version of Magento via localhost, you'll have to set localhost as your base_url.
After that you need to clear your cache folder.
EDIT:
To install and run Magento on your local PC using XAMPP, please follow these steps:

Unable to run Magento site offline. DEV server redirects to live store

I have a Magento site running on a live e-commerce server.
I downloaded the whole site for offline use in a development environment. I changed the Base URL values in the database and edited the local.xml file but my local development site is still referring to the online store.
How do I correct this?
The usual problem, changing your base urls and local.xml is only a minor part of the equation.
Step 3 was missed on moving the website to the development server.
Moving stuff is actually pretty darn simple.
a. Tar the public_html directory on the old server
b. Reinstall on the development system.
a. Disable caching in Magento on the old server, dump the database and then reenable the Magento cache.
b. Create a mysql database, user and grant permissions on the development system. Load the database dump into the database on the development system.
Do the one thing that most people ignore, go set your file permissions and ownership.
Change your base URLs using either mysql command line or phpMyAdmin.
Go eliminate every subfolder in the var/ folder, Magento will recreate it.
Finally, go make changes to your local.xml file to change the database access credentials assigned to the new database and bring Magento up.
If you have complete ownership of the server, do the above steps with the Apache server down until you've loaded all the data and made the permissions and file corrections. This prevents accidentally starting Magento in an unprepared state which can cache Magento's configuration which is why you are having this problem.
If you do not have proper permissions on the var/ folder and subfolders, Magento will write your Magento temporary and cache to the system temp and you end up with Mage's magically redirected Magento which eternally points to the original website.
Also, if you copy local.xml to another file to save it, name it something like local.xml.sv0 otherwise if it ends in .xml, Magento autoload each .xml file in app/etc/ and try to merge it with the contents of your local.xml file.
NOTE: What happens when you don't properly set file/folder permissions before running Magento for the first time after a move.
