I had a joomla website which was perfectly working. at present website is not working bcz of termination web hosting account. I have bought new server & want to tranfer my data in new server. what should i do?
Pls help.
Quoting the joomla documentation:
"Copying (Transfering) a Joomla! website is a two-part process: you must copy the files and you must copy the database (which is where the content is stored). Copying the files and copying the database are separate operations."
The entire procedure is explained here: Copying a Joomla website

I am trying to transfer my website with jomsocial from one server to another.
www.iremember.gr
Previous server steps:
Backup all the files from public_html folder.
Backup the DB from php my admin.
New server steps:
Install joomla, entered the prefix in DB of the previous DB prefix.
Deleted all files from public html and extract the backup from the previous server.
Export the DB from the previous server, to the new one.
Changed the configuration.php file with the new user/dbname/password.
Now when i try to enter the new server at this IP address
93.174.121.23/~niremco/
and i login ok.
It loads the main page
but when i try to enter a profile i get a 404 Error.
Although when i try to see the profile
http://93.174.121.23/~niremco/index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid=109
i can see it.
But not from the correct link that i had in the previous server
http://93.174.121.23/~niremco/team-iremember/profile
Any idea why this happens?
You probably haven't copied the .htaccess file from the old website, you will need to copy it from the old Joomla website to the new one. This typically happens because the .htaccess file is considered to be a hidden file and as such does not get copied over automatically.
First of all, installing a clean Joomla first is totally unnecessary. As for why you are getting the 404 error pages, this is because you probably have URL rewrite enabled in global configuration, while there is not a proper .htaccess file sitting in your new server.
With proper I mean either no .htaccess at all, or one that was setup for your old hosting. I rather tend to think the second.
To test that your moved correctly your site, disable url rewrite from global configuration.
If you would want to test with url rewrites enabled, then I would suggest to edit the hosts file in your computer and point your domain to the ip address of the new server.

I have developed my Yii2 application locally and zipped the file and uploaded to CPanel under File Manager -> Public_html -> data. Now how can I access my application through the web? What is the url for my project? Should I do another installation? Please help me I'm stuck here.
Your projects are accessed trough the web folder. You have to point your Document Root of your domain to that folder.
If you cant make it work, you need to add your directory structure to the question.
The idea is this: I have 2 dedicated servers (an old one and new one), I have to transfer a magento website from old server to new server via Plesk. Transferring is fine and the website works on a new server with a temporary domain (tempdomain.com) for testing purposes, however I do have this issue:
When I try to log on to admin area of a clone:
tempdomain.com/admin
I get redirected to
realdomain/admin
How do I log on to the cloned version (tempdomain.com)? I assume I have to edit some file, but I can't find which, since there are thousands, string searching through them is futile.
UPDATE: the new website has it's own (cloned) database
The table you are looking for is core_config_data. I am assuming the new tempdomain.com has its own database.
This link tells you what to do.
I am new on Magento. I am facing some problem when open the site in browser.
I am having two sites:
http://www.diamondjewelryhub.com
http://musicalinstruments101.com/
I have download the code and database of http://www.diamondjewelryhub.com. I want to upload this code and database on the server of http://musicalinstruments101.com/.
After download the data base I searched for this http://www.diamondjewelryhub.com and replace with http://musicalinstruments101.com/.
After that I have import the database file on the server of http://musicalinstruments101.com/, When I am trying to open http://musicalinstruments101.com/ it redirecting on the site http://www.diamondjewelryhub.com.
Is there any change needed because it redirects wrong?
You have to change/delete the unsecure_url and secure_url from core_config_data table to be able to access your store on different url
When copying the files onto the new server remember to not copy the contents of var/ directory. That would include the cache which effectively overrides the database.
So i have a client, who has a disc of an entire site. Root server files, all the way to /httphome/ files...
However, it looks like it was created using Joomla. Now, i know my HTMl and CSS but have never used a CMS like Joomla.
To get this site up and running, am i going to have to install Joomla on my clients server, and then upload the files?
i am going to assume its not that easy.... anyone got any insight into this process and what im looking at?
thanks
Keep in mind that Joomla content resides in a MySql database.
You need the following:
Database export
Create a DB on you MySQL server
Upload the files
Edit configuration.php to work with you db and also set your path there
Also, some components might need some more setup, as some of them have their own cfg files.
To get this site up and running (if the file is really the entire site) should be as simple as setting up a web server and pointing it to the directory with the index in it. Joomla should already be in that file. Let me know if i can elaborate on the process.
Since you are new to Joomla, you might want to try loading the disc contents up on your localhost first. Personally, when I'm trying something new, I hate for my first attempts to be somewhat public - I always feel a little safer if I do the first install someplace local where I'm the only person who can see it.
Best of luck with your project! If you run into any problems, or if you want to confirm that the site is definitely Joomla, let us know and we will get you sorted out.
Do you have the related database? The files that make up Joomla are useless without the database. You could install Joomla and upload your files over the top, but any database changes made by any installed extensions wouldn't be made to that install. You'd also be missing all of the actual site content without the database.
If you do have the database, then all you need to do is import the database in you your mySQL, then upload the files you have on the disc and edit configuration.php file with the new database user and password.
