pLog Migration LifeType

Issue:

Blank Screen!? after migration from pLog to LifeType 1.0.6

Solution:

  • Modify php.ini to increase memory_limit from 8M to 16M
  • Modify httpd.conf to add <Directory “path/to/LifeType”> AllowOverride All … </Directory>
  • cp old templates to new templates directory.

Tricks:

  • check output from webserver log
  • .htaccess cannot be simply removed from LifeType dir
  • old mysql tables cannot be simply copy to new mysql dir, but need to do backup to .sql file then restore to new mysql by executing the .sql w/ either phpMyAdmin or Webmin MySQL module. i.e. Use upgrade method instead of new install then copy database files.
