Move forum to new host and having issue with the admin

[eliteone]

Hello all in dire need of some assistance. 

Move my invision board to a new host. The forum seems to be working fine. I am able to log in etc.

When I go to log into the admin I get the error below in the console. Any ideas how to fix this?

 

 

I had posted this here but they suggested I should post here.

Have this in the log (I replace specific name with mysite)

Really need some guidance here.  Is there a way to reset the admin part?  I have verified that all the identical files from the old host are on the new one using the same file path etc.

I ran the compatibility checker while wait for an answer from support.  

Here's the results:

This error means you are missing at least 1 file on your new server: /home/mysite/public_html/mysite/forums/system/Http/Url/Friendly.php.

Verify the file exists and has the proper permissions, and if it doesn't, copy it from the old server. You might have more missing though, copying over again all the files would be a good idea. Or, if you are on version 4.7.7, download a new zip file with all the suite files from your client area and upload the files directly from it.

The forum was on 4.76 when I moved it. Would copying the files over from 4.77 download still work?

You would want to upload ALL 4.7.7 files. Don’t mix/match. After you upload the 4.7.7 files, go to yourdomain.com/admin/upgrade to manually upgrade to the latest version. 🙂

You called it. It worked after running the upgrade per your post.  Thanks! 😎

Thank you. One minor thing, maybe you have the easy answer or someone else does. I used to have a .htaccess file for my admin directory. I had to remove it on the new host. How do I go about making a new one in IPB 4.7?

Hi. Are you looking for this?

Admincp/system/search engine optimizzation/friendly urls/rewrite urls

Wasn't that.  Before I moved the forum when one went to the admin console you were presented with this. You had to know the username password for this which was stored in a .htaccess file in the admin folder. 

Afterwards you could log into the admin console.

Thanks that was the refresher I needed to get it setup. 😎

It is worth noting, this is an old way of doing things. You are actually better to use the built in 2 factor authentication to secure your admin area. You can read more about this here
