It's hard to say how the files should be stored and how it should be
configured, because it is specific to your old website.
All I can say now is, check the following:
1) Make sure you copied all files from the old server, so that all
files end up at the same place in the new server.
2) .htaccess files can also be stored in subdirectories, though that
doesn't seem likely here.
3) Check you old website virtual host config, this depends on which
webserver there is. In most (all?) webservers it is possibily to
specify URL redirects. For Apache on a Unix based server, check the
config files in /etc/apache (ubuntu has them in
/etc/apache/sites_enabled), Nginx would be in /etc/nginx (Ubuntu also
has them in /etc/nginx/sites_enabled). Other webservers probably also
have their config files in /etc//...

The old server has probably some freaky settings that make that
directory automatically included, for example by modifing the php
include dir in php.ini, or it is part of a package. You can open up
this site.php file and look at the first lines, it might give you a
hint if it's part of some package.

You just made me think actually, could it be an .htaccess file re-routing the 
file paths (different to URL re-routing)? Because of the way MacOS and Linux 
works, an .htaccess file would be hidden by default and therefore not 
necessarily copied across.



That could be a possibility, though looking at the code Suraj send it's not 
very likely as there is path redirect magic in there. Most likely the web 
folder is named differently (it seems like it assumes the web files to be in 
public_html, which might not be the case in his new server.

- Matijn

You’re right Matijn.

It’s currently pointing to a folder called ‘public_html’ where the index.php 
and the rest of the website is stored. I, first, tried configuring it so that 
on the new server, it was directly within the root server but this kept on 
bringing error messages.

I then replicated the old server on the new server but am still getting these 
error messages as described earlier.

Also, I have typed in ls  -a and it comes up with the directories, but there is 
no “such file” for .htaccess.

On Linux systems (and probably Mac too), you can show if there are
hidden files by using ls -a.
You can just use cp .htaccess  to copy.

Ok thanks Ashley.

If this .htaccess file was hidden by default, how would I go about accessing it

Thank you Matijn.

install this on my Mac.

Sorry.

Hi,

I don't know much about PHP on Mac, though I think you'll find something useful 
on google with 'Install PEAR on Mac'.
Looking at the error, it might be pearweb, or is there a site.php file in your 
web folder on the old server?


- Matijn


OK thanks Matijn.

I’ll google it now and install it.

There is a site.php as well as a config.php file in the sub-directory of the 
old server. I’ve copied these over but not sure why it still doesn’t recognise 
it. I’ve amended the code to point to the new server as well.

PEAR can be managed in a number of ways. You do not say what OS you are working 
on, but most linux distributions carry PEAR packages as additional packages you 
can download and install with the PHP setup. This is often the preferred way of 
doing things, so if those packages have not been installed on your target 
system, then there will obviously be problems.


What I have done for some time since I used to be working between Linux and 
Windows servers was include the PEAR packages that I use as extra libraries 
within the website itself. That way the correct version is always distributed 
with the website.


What you need to do will depend on how you are currently accessing PEAR 
packages, and also which packages you are using.

Suraj,

Attachments usually don't work at mailing lists, you should paste it
in your mail, or use something like pastebin. Second, you should
bottom post at this (and probably any) mailing list.
About your question, you can install the php-pear package if you don't
have it from your package manager, and then all you have to do is call
pear install 
and you're done.

That would depend. Some servers install Pear outside the web root but in a 
location the web server has access to so that it can be used within your own
