Re: Pointing to the wrong folder

Hi

An unorthodox migration I must say. Here http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Moodle_migration is the prescribed method.

As you can see in that documentation, three things should move to the new server.

Instead of the original Moodle source you take a fresh download. Since both are 1.9.7, shouldn't be a problem.

You mean, these 6 lines in the new config.php are identical to those in the old config.php?
$CFG->dbtype
$CFG->dbhost
$CFG->dbname
$CFG->dbuser
$CFG->dbpass
$CFG->prefix

What about other basic parameters like
$CFG->wwwroot
$CFG->dirroot
$CFG->dataroot
?

First check up the basic parameters mentioned above. The replace.php operation Colin mentioned, i.e. search the old URL in the database and replace with the new one, is likely to be necessary.

I would get the present version, or even better 1.9.latest going but postpone the Moodle 2 shuffle for some other bright day. (personal openion)
