Moving an Installation of mojoPortal to a Different Server

Hi Joe,

I moved a mojoPortal website to a different server. This website is a folder based multiple site. In site list we have two sites.

Deniz Muhendislik (this site)
Deniz Muhendislik English

After moving everything works fine but the second folder based site doesn't have a skin. It looks like it has printerfriendly skin. I really don't know how can this happen. Perhaps you have an idea to make it good again. If you want to check: www.denizmuhendislik.com.tr and www.denizmuhendislik.com.tr/en/

Thanks in advance. 

Best,
Erhan

Re: Moving an Installation of mojoPortal to a Different Server

Sometimes when you move a site the file system permissions below /Data can get funky and you may need to reset permissions on files and folders so the new applicaiton pool user has permissions. And of course make sure all of the files were copied successfully for the other sites under /Data/Sites/[SiteID]

Check the log for errors, if the log doesn''t have nay new entries it definitely indiicates file system permission problems because tha means it also cannot write to the log. But the blank skin sounds more like incorrect read permissions on the skin folder files.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Moving an Installation of mojoPortal to a Different Server

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your quick reply. I checked permissions, everything seems OK. I checked log too and found this message:

System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): The file '/en/csshandler.ashx' does not exist.

What do you think? Can this message help to find out the problem source?

Thanks,
Erhan

Technically that file should not have to exist because it has a handler mapping in Web.config, but your server is not configured correctly to allow that handler mapping. You can probably solve it by creating a real folder /en and copy the file from the root into that folder.

Hope that helps,

Joe

That's it. Copying the file into /en folder solved the problem.

Thanks a lot.
