Server Move - Errors

[deadlySniper]

I have been trying to move my vbulletin from a web host that uses linux to my dedicated server that is using windows. Everything works except a few things. One of the main issues is trying to install mods, I get a path error along with that some path does not have permission to access. What would be the best solution?

You need to post the errors that your receiving, if you expect help with your winblowz server.

The files you uploaded where not uploaded to the right folders

The site is just a mear copy of the old one. If the path is not right, what file will need to fix?

The open_basedir restriction keeps php scripts from writing where they're not supposed to: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.open-basedir . In the vb settings under "Server Settings and Optimization Options", there is a setting for "Safe Mode Temporary Directory". You either need to set that to a directory that's "in the allowed path", like it says in the error message, or else change the php.ini and add C:\Windows\Temp to the open_basedir setting (I don't know much about setting up servers, so I don't know if that second option is a safe thing to do or not).

This is also an issue for uploading files - you might have to set the "Safe Mode Upload Enabled" setting to Yes, and if you're storing files in the file system, that directory will also need to be in the open_basedir path.

I did this. But I decided to just do a fresh forum install and import the data. Right now the error I am having is while trying to install. I couldnt stand IIS and used xampp for it.
