I have just moved my Pivotx from islandfreepress.org/PivotBlog (IFP) to hatterasdesigns.net/PivotBlog (HD) and now have the blog running on both sites.
However, on the new HD site I had a few issues. Tried all of this in multiple browsers, cleared browser cache as well as the Pivot cache in the admin.
1- I was unable to rebuild any of the 3 indexes in the admin interface. The admin displayed a box with "Error Rebuilding Index". I was, luckily, able to use your repair_db scripts1-4 to get the transferred db straightened out but couldn't rebuild using the admin even after running the repair scripts.
2- On the admin dashboard, the "Pivotx News" box just showed a moving progress bar and never completeed loading the news site. Also, the "Latest Forum Posts" did not show any content.
3- When trying to edit my theme files, the edit box opened and a moving progress bar showed but never went away and the editor never loaded. Fortunately I was able to edit my theme using ftp access.
4- When I tried to set Debug mode I got "The configuration could not be updated".
So, I was about to tell you all this and ask for help. But, I just discovered the problem and am writing anyway so that this all can be shared with the forum.
I found that when I uploaded the Pivotx folders to the new domain there was an error in the upload. My server rejected the file named ajaxhelper.php saying that it contained a virus related to the domain "43things.com". I removed those lines from the file and then it uploaded fine and all the problems above corrected themselves and I was most importantly, able to rebuild all indexes.
Here is the code I removed from ajaxhelper.php to eliminate the upload error:
case "43things":
self::_getTagFeedHelper('http://www.43things.com/rss/goals/tag?name='.str_replace(" ", "+", $tag), '43things.com', $tag); break;
Finally, I do have one remaing issue that I hope you can help with. Whenever I change anything in the admin interface the system immediately logs me off and does not save the changes so I am unable to, for example delete the sample posts, set debug mode, etc. I'm sure this is something simple and would really appreciate your help. If you need login credentials to investigate just let me know how to provide them.
Thanks,
JIm
Then, I discovered from the server
The IFP and HD sites are on the same server running php 5.2.17, both use Pivotx 2.3.11. Safe mode is off.
Permissions on images, db and templates are set to 777.
