0 cienislaw Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 did you changed links pointing to dev site to normal site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Traumflug Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Look at the very bottom of your screenshot. There's JavaScript reporting some syntax error. Fix that first, before looking for other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kenneth Ong Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 it says jquery not defined, but all the files are in the correct spot. I don't understand why it doesnt load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll paste the steps I wrote based on a PS's forum: 1. Copy all files via FTP 2. Duplicate database to other hoster 3. check the php settings at your new hoster!! (PS <= 1.6.1.3 is not yet PHP7 ready! so you wont see anything in these cases) 3. open Database and edit "tb_shop_url". Set the new path and domain for your new shop (you have to use / as the last character, like /shop/) 4. edit config/settings.inc.php and set the new database access 5. delete the .htaccess file in your shops root folder 6. login to the admin backend and go to settings > seo & urls and save the path and domain properties to create a new .htaccess file (after creating the new .htaccess file you will be able to view/use the frontend of the shop, not earlier as it contains all necessary info it needs to translate the friendly urls of the shop frontend) I recall having seen something like your screenshot before actually follow these steps.

0 Kenneth Ong Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Tried this but now I can't login to the backoffice. I key in my login details and it just refreshes the page. doesnt go to the dashboard. Clearing cache and htaccess makes no diff.

0 Wartin Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Do you have direct access to the database? Maybe phpmyadmin or something like that? Just to check the links are fine (item 3). It keep showing the same as your first screenshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kenneth Ong Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yes i do, the links are fine. There are no errors in the console now. Just doesn't log into the backend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
