I migrated my forums to a new server. I exported and then imported my database using a large .sql

The forums seem to be working except when I try to make a post. It just adds a shell of a post without any text. I check the database and see a row being inserted to vb3_post but the pagetext value is null.

I create a test post using the vb api and I can see the contents of this post. Is there anything else I can try?

<?
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_dm.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php');


$threadid = 148576;
$forumid = 2;
$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($threadid);
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
$text = 'Hello World';

$postdm =& datamanager_init('Post', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD, 'threadpost');
$postdm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);
$postdm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
$postdm->set('threadid', $threadid);
$postdm->set('userid', 71495);
$postdm->set('pagetext', $text);
$postdm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
$postdm->set('visible', 1);
$postdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$postdm->save();

?>

Have you tried rebuilding your cache?

Are you using the same PHP version? It's possible that you are using a plugin or PHP version that's not working properly on the new server with your current installation.

Check PHP and Mysql version if there are some differences between old and new server, that will solve this problem on your forum.
