Newbie needs help
 

I'll try to explain as best as I can.....

When we first started we had one server/website. Then wanted to change our name so we got another one. The old one has expired and it looks like a lot of our images were saved to that server. They were just a red "X" on the site. We went in and transfered the smileys and other images. And it seemed to work. But now we get this scroll box constantly.

Warning: Unknown(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /global.php(334) : eval()'d code on line 53

and this one:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.

Line: 2957


Anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?

What's on line 53 of global.php?

Not sure how to find that out, but I opened global using first page, found line 53 and it says // read the list of collapsed menus from the 'vbulletin_collapse' cookie

First, do yourself a favor and remove the /path/to/your/forums that you have listed in the first post. ;)

Check global.php for pathnames that point to your old server. For example your old vB may have been installed in something like /var/www/html/, whereas your new box is /var/www/yourdomain.tld/httpdocs. (those are just example pathnames). Those failed to open stream errors are sometimes path/permission problems, but it's hard to tell from where I'm sitting.

As far as: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo, this is possibly caused by differences between PHP on your old server and your new one, or improper PHP setup on your new host. Have a look here:

Again I'm not a developer but I'm a decent vB/Linux geek, so these are my best guesses so far. Someone more adept at troubleshooting obscure PHP/vB errors may come along and tell you that I'm completely wrong. ;)

Thanks for the reply. This could take some time to fix. lol

I did that and didn't find anything with the old name in it. I've looked at the certain lines in the errors and nothing seems weird about them.
