Subject: moving an installation..
i am wondering how to move and installation..

we developed a site on a local server here, and we need to deploy it to the new server..

ordinarily, we just put the database on the new server.. and drop the files in place, and it works, but at this point, we are just getting a blank screen..

since this is a hosted site, i can't see the logs (only the apache logs, which don't show any problems..)

does anyone have any ideas?

thanks!

Check your RealURL settings - if you were set up on a local test box, you may have left in some of the path settings. See if you can get to the /typo3 folder or the typo3conf folder, those should work regardless. I think the most likely cause is a leftover path setting - I had the same issue in migrating my site. RealURL gave me some issues as well.

Also, check your .htaccess file (or perhaps lack of .htaccess). I had to use the minimal settings recommended on our host site and set the variables properly to a sub-folder for it to work in our test are on the main site. Without the .htaccess file, RealURL didn't work at all and I got a bunch of blank screens.

Only other thing I can think of might be your compression levels - if those are set, but compression is not set up properly on the server, you could run into issues with the site display.
