Hello Shannon,

Can you request with your webhosting provider to help you increase the following php information to higher(frontend and backend)?

max_execution_time - 200

Memory_limit - 128MB

After your Webhosting updated, then try to install from directory method , using this path :

/home/sco47116/public_html/new/tmp/easy

Hello. Did you make any changes to our website last night. I cannot log into the administrator area now.. I get the login box but then a blank screen and I cant go anywhere.

I was working fine when I signed off last night and I can see in the database that lots of easyblog parts have been installed.

Regards

Shannon

Hello.

I have found the issue with my administrator login area.

I had to login to phpmyadmin and I disabled the extension User_EasyBlog Users and now it works. Please can you help me understand why this caused my whole admin area to crash.

Regards

Shannon

Sorry to bombard you with all of these emails.

I just spoke to the host and they said that they cannot change the settings.

This is where it standds
max php mem limit = 64m
max execution time = 30sec
upload max file size = 2m or 20m... not sure about that one,

Regards

Shannon

Hello. I have worked it out..

It was all to do with the host. I moved the site to another server. Installed easyblog without a problem and then moved the whole site back to their servers. It was a very long way of getting your component installed.

Another question. How do I copy/migrate the data from an old 1.5.26 site.

Regard

Shannon

hello Shannon,

I'm really sorry that delayed of this reply,
Actually I didn't do any changes from your site last night
Anyway, glad to heard you installed the Easyblog in your site now.

Ideally, it's best that you create an export dump through phpmyadmin and export the tables over. Here's the general guideline that you could use and it is also what we used previously when we migrated from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 3.x or 2.x.

If you already installed the Easyblog component in your new site, you have to uninstall the Easyblog component from your new site.

1. Open up PHPMyAdmin tool that is provided by your hosting provider and open up your current site's database.
2. Make a sql dump for all the tables that has the prefix of #__easyblog_*
3. Download the .sql file and save it on your desktop.
4. If your new site's database prefix also uses the same prefix , then you can skip this part. However, if you are using a different database prefix, you'll need to edit the .sql file that you've just downloaded, and do a search and replace of jos_ with your new database prefix.
5. Open your PHPMyAdmin and this time, open up your new site's database.
6. You should see an import link at the top. Click on that, and click on browse. Select the .sql file and click the run import button.
7. Install the latest EasyBlog on your new site

Please replace "#__" with your own database prefix

**migrate additional
Thank you for your insight, it was extremely helpful. I had already installed the EasyBlog component, so on your advise I uninstalled it, then copied over the tables from the J2.5 database. I also did one other thing that you did not mention, and that was to copy over the image and media files associated with EasyBlog (e.g. the "/images/easyblog_avatar", "/images/easyblog_images", "/images/easyblog_shared", and the "/media/com_easyblog" folders and all of their contents), so it may be worth adding this to your instructions for the benefit of other users in the future.

If you need further assistance, please provide us with the following information :
1. Joomla 1.5 backend access
2. Old site database access
3. Joomla new site access
4. New site database access
Hope this help.

Arlex Wong .... ya mem / execution time limits sure helped me ..... no hassles after that

ohh for those with a dedicated server and has access to WHM admin panel

settings are under
Service Configuration ....about halfway down on left
PHP Configuration Editor .... all Arlex's settings are in here

If you get an error changing all settings at once do one at a time
I only needed to set .....
max execution time = 200sec
max php mem limit = 64m (32 default)
changed upload max file size from 2m to 20m

hope that helps others with VPS or dedicated server

should help with heaps of other extensions

Thanks for sharing this Scott, glad that your issues are resolved now !
