This is in relation to the "FarCry DB move" thread that is no longer open for posting: http://groups.google.com.au/group/farcry-dev/browse_thread/thread/ac06696420b29f71/fd8031aa0f6293e9
I was having the exact same problem as described by the initial poster, but it looks like there wasn't a happy resolution for them so I thought i'd update this thread with how I got it to work. Background story: I decided to keep the same database for both my development and live server during this migration to make it easy... so I simply created a new farcry installation on the live server and made sure it was working. Then I copied over all the development files (i.e. www, webskin etc.) to overwrite the live files. I didn't overwrite the apps.cfm or the config directory file with the correct live settings. I then changed the live DSN currently pointing to the new farcry install DB, and refreshed the website. Bam! the website goes in an infinite loop - Firefox actually refuses to load the page saying it is impossible, but IE freaks out. Solution: As recommended by one of the first posters in this thread, I simply added "?updateapp=1" to my live website URL (i.e. http://www.mylivedomain.com?updateapp=1) and peace was restored to the world :) The website worked perfectly again! I was then able to backup the DB and move it to my live SQL server and adjust the DSN for the last time. I hope this helps someone...
