Newbie needs help

[Drivel]

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.

and this one:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: forums/includes/class_core.php
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.
