I was moving my site from old host to new host, and I am a beginner. I made some research at few different websites including what is written here. It help me a lot. Like to thank author Inferno for the help.
At first I find it quite hard as I am not that techie in MyBB.
So i made my own tutorial with little bit more details as how I got my site to works on new host.
Please click
here for my tutorial, might help other newbies like me.
Hello everyone.
I started mybb on localserver now i got hosting and domain. I have done everyting in this thread (read all pages in search of answers).
I disabled Gzip in ACP
I tried exporting through myBB tools and from phpmyadmin (tried gziop and plain text modes
I edited Config.php and Settings.php
I disabled plugins
im using mybb v1.8.24
wint PHP 7.4 and mysql 5.7
But nothing helps.
I get a blank page if i open my domain and i get "MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue." if i open doman.com/admin
So i SOLVED the ISSUE with blank index page. It appeared to be the index.html to be the problem. In my local host index.php had a higher priority and html file was ignored. On real host index.html had a higher priority.. so i deleted it and homepage works.
Interesting. Assuming you imported from a mybb backup in Tools/Maintenance. That'd be ok, but you need to create a blank mybb database on your host first. The rest makes sense.
Don't see where the index.html came from - either in the admin folder or mybb root. Unless placed there by something other than mybb? Curious about that.
cheers...
