Hi all. I just migrated my Elgg installation from GoDaddy to Hostgator. Everything worked fine when they originally moved the site, but since it took two days (!!), I had to update my database again afterwards. Right after I did, the 'Like' plugin I had installed would log a user in as the user they 'liked,' (yikes!!) but then I ran upgrade.php and now it just logs the 'liking' user out instead. Also, when a user posts on another's message board, the comment gets attributed to the profile owner, not the commenter. There were also some group albums and user files that disappeared, but I found it easier to have the users re-upload them than to try to fish them out with MySQL.
My little world's gone crazy. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?! HELP! lol

You must log in to post replies.Update: after turning of AJAX support, the 'like' plugin works fine outside of having to reload the page. Also, the message board problem persists, so it's most likely an AJAX issue, but I'm not sure what. I hope that helps.
No ideas guys and girls? :(
This sounds like a corrupt installation. How did you move the site?
It was moved by Hostgator staff (I have them revisiting the problem). Initially when they did it everything worked, but since it took them two days, they had to do a restore to a more current database and that's when calamity ensued.
I'm still hoping for some help on this. :(
Bella,
As Brett posted earlier, it looks like broken install.
Can you please run the DB Validator plugin and report the results?
http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/costelloc/read/438616?release=575572
The install is clean according to DB validator:
No bad usernames
entities
No bad owners
No incomplete entities
That's why I'm so confoozled!

Oh, by the way, NONE of the Java features work for some reason.
