Hello everyone,
I was moving our forum to new hosting yesterday. 

Unfortunately, I encountered a big problem and it concerns the display of the forum index page:

http://forum.techlipton.pl/index.php

How to fix it? What could be the reason?

I can login into ACP panel. 

Info:
PHP Version: 7.1.9
MySQLi: 5.6.34

Old path: techlipton/forum
New path: forum.techlipton.pl (I changed settings.php)

Regards,
Rafal
forum admin panel >> Configuration [Settings] >> Server and Optimization Options
>> GZip Page Compression Level --> decrease level to 4 or 3 ; save settings & check

if above doesn't help then disable GZip Page Compression ; save settings & check
Turning off the gzip worked. Thanks (propably it was overwrited by host settings?). Now I see that template files can't be readed.

It is still using old path: http://techlipton.pl/forum/

instead of: http://forum.techlipton.pl

Ok, I think I fixed it.

FIXED New problem: 
Login don't work. After writing user creditentials we see success login message and then page reload (that is fine). But we are still logged out.

Should I test board at new hosting somehow? Is there something important to check? 

So far I was working few years with PHPBB only .
just a few basic checks :

run file verification tool from below location & ensure that files are okay.
admin panel >> tools & maintenance >> file verification

also you can check login & logout process from different browsers / computers

observe page loading speed both at front end (forum) & back end (admin panel)

OoO, Long list. Should I worry? (attachment)

Where can I observe page loading speed? In ACP? Or 3rd party websites?
exactly which version of MyBB you are using & which version of php you have ?
I hope those changed files are just due to a different file transfer mode

do you remember how was your MyBB forum installed
- was it through single click installer (eg. Softaculous) ?

for page speed, just observe through your browser.
also as administrator you can see page loading time at the bottom of every page
MyBB Version: 1.8.14
PHP Version: 7.1.9

I don't know how it was installed. I didn't install this and the man who was responsible for this just gone.
okay. apparently MyBB System files were downloaded from mybb.pl site
& most probably there is nothing to worry about those changed files.

can you open any php file (eg. global.php) in an editor like notepad++
and find mybb.pl in the comment lines at beginning of the php file ..
I don't see any "mybb.pl" term in global.php:

just for general checking :
can you compare your forum's global.php file with this => github - mybb - global.php
(blank lines might not tally ..)
