Asking for another install after server change
 

Hi,

I moved to another server and instead of copying all the site files from old server, I just copied new VB files (same version) on to the new server and just moved over the database. I did that so i don't carry over the garbage I dont even remember uploading.

BTW, the site name, temporarily changed.

I have changed the config file as needed but it still gives me a blank page when going to index.php. Is there somewhere in the database I would need to change something like site name or anything else so I do not have to install from scratch.

Thank You

BTW, install method does not work anyway because when i tried, all it said at step 2 was that the database is already there.

globally disable your plugins via config.php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Are you able to log into the admincp?

I have no pluging as I uploaded a fresh copy of VB.

I am able to log into the admin cp but it gives me a blank page after that aswell..

Most likely your vBulletin is holding a bad cookie from the previous installation. You will need to run the tools. php script to clear them and get your system back. If you don't know, tools.php is run from the admincp folder and requires that you have the install folder for it to run.

HTH

Its completely white, even when i go to see page source, there is nothing there.

Did you read the page I linked to?

Yeh,

So far I tried to add the following in config file but still no change, will see what else i can do.

ini_set("display_errors", true);

ini_set('memory_limit', -1);

BTW, could this be because of a style. I mean the forum on the other server used a custom style but I did not upload any of the style files from old server. Shouldt it just show default style in this case?

Plugins (and other modification related things) are stored in the database. You can not just remove the files (or not move them to the new server) and only move the database. This will for sure break your installation.
