Changing Host

[JulesInFrance]

I need to move my CC4 shop to a host who will support PHP5.

I loaded CC4.2.0, replaced the images folder with my 4.1.x images folder, copied across global.inc.php, set the permissions and uploaded the DB file.

Of course I needed to modify global.inc.php to reflect the new host_name in $glob['dbdatabase'] = and $glob['dbusername'] = and I did that too.

Now I get an error;

Critical Error: No version history available! Upgrade script doesn't know where to start.

I'm guessing here but I suspect the CC4 upgrade script should get this from the DB, therefore it is not finding the DB. Would that be a reasonable assumption or is there a more obvious reason for the transfer not working?

Is there a "moving your v4 installation from one server to another" thread I've missed in my search?

Thanks in advance,

Jules in France

The pinned READ ME FIRST posts are always worth reading as a starting guide, especially this, which I posted very recently...

I'd suggest copying over includes/ini.inc.php from your 4.1 installation, then retry the upgrade to 4.2.0 :)

Thanks B2B'ing and The Happy One!

In the end I traced it to a limitation of the database import function in phpMySQL - my database was way too large and was truncated during the load.

I had my host/support load it instead and now we're good-to-go!

that links is broken :\ I need to migrate my 4.1.1 install over to a new hosting provider.

Is there a guide for this ?
