@Tim, I found the /conf/config.php file and updated it. This resolved most of my issues. If I need further help, I will let you know. Thanks for having this forum. It is really helpful for somebody like me who is brand new to BigTree!
I have just started a project to move our single BigTree website from an old version of Ubuntu to CENTOS7. I built the dev/staging CENTOS7 server and installed the BigTree database and website based on a copy from production.
The new staging server URL is https://staging.<domain>.org
The old Ubuntu production site is https://<domain>.org
The website comes up but I have these issues.
1. SSL Certificate errors. The application is pointing to URLs on the production site.
2. CMS Login. When I login to the CMS on staging, I am redirected to the production site.
I assume there is something in the database I need to manually update to use the new URL? Or, is there something else I need to do?
@Tim, I appreciate any advice you can offer.
I look forward to hear from you.
Thank you very much Tim for your help and patience.
I changed the debug value to "true", and I am back with just showing the background of the website. I checked the page source, and I have these errors at the top:
<b>Warning</b>: include_once(/var/www/vhosts/<Document Root>/htdocs/site): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/var/www/vhosts/<Document Root>/htdocs/core/bootstrap.php</b> on line <b>95</b><br />

Hi Tim,
I followed your instructions. My website is working fine while on version 4.1.17.
When I upgrade to 4.2.23, the website doesn't come up. I only see the blue background of the site. It is almost like I am missing some config file that was new when upgrading to version 4.2.23.
Do you have any other ideas on how I can troubleshoot the error? I have looked at the Apache logs, and they don't provide anything that I could use for troubleshooting this issue.
Would it help if I turn on verbose logging? How would I do that and where would the logs be saved?
Thank you Tim,
I checked my website running 4.1.18. Looking at <document root>/htdocs/custom, I don't see either environment.php or settings.php. The only thing I see in the custom folder are the admin, inc, and email folders.
I downloaded the 4.2.23 upgrade, and it doesn't include either PHP file. However, in 4.2.23 under the /core folder, I do see the config.environment.php and config.settings.php files. Should I copy those files to the /custom folder?
Hi Tim, I want to provide you an update on where I am at with my migration.
I started out with BigTree CMS 4.0 RC2 running on an end of life Ubuntu server. I did the following migration.
1. Moved v4.0 RC2 to a LAMP stack CENTOS 7.5 server. Migration was successful.
2. Upgrade BigTree v4.0 RC2 to version4.2.23. This upgrade was unsuccessful and I rolled back the changes.
3. Upgrade BigTree v4.0Rc2 to version to version 4.0.13. Upgrade was a success.
4. Upgrade BigTree v4.0.13 to version 4.1.18. Upgrade was a success.
5. Upgrade BigTree v4.1.18 to version 4.2.23. This upgrade failed. I only see the background of the website. I did add the URL and DB info to /core/config.environment.php when I upgraded to version 4.1.18. However, it seems that I am still missing a configuration file somewhere. Also, <document root>/conf/config.php still exists. That php file is included with version 4.0.x.
I appreciate any suggestions to troubleshoot this error. I also see a mention in some threads about running http://<website>/install.php? Is that something I need to do to upgrade to 4.2.23? Where are the instructions to perform this task?
Thanks again for your help.
Hi Tim. Thank you for the reply. I have the site running on the new server on HTTP. However, when I switch to https in <Document Root>/config, the website only displays the background blue image. The current production site is running on HTTP/Port 80 only, and I think the reason why is the previous team couldn't figure out how to get the website configured using HTTPS.
Here are my four entries in config.php. It appears the same exact config file exists in <Document Root>htdocs/templates/config.php
$bigtree["config"]["domain"] = "https://staging2.<domain>.org";
$bigtree["config"]["www_root"] = "https://staging2.<domain>.org/";
$bigtree["config"]["static_root"] = "https://staging2.<domain>.org/";
$bigtree["config"]["admin_root"] = "https://staging2.<domain>.org/admin/";
$bigtree["config"]["environment_live_url"] = "https://staging2.<domain name>.org"; // Site URL
I watched the Apache access logs while I refreshed the page, and I see HTTP 200 coees for style sheets and java script files.
I am running BigTree 4.0 RC2.
I feel like I am missing a config file or database table that holding on to the previous settings from the original website. Do you have any thoughts? Is there some configuration I have to do while logged into the CMS, or is there a config file or database table that I missed?
Thank you!
Found it!
config.php has the DB credentials and URL and is located at <Document Root>/conf
Site is up and running.
Update #2. I have migrated the database and the entire website to the new centos7 server. The database name has bee updated to reflect our naming conventions. DNS has been set. I get a 500 error when I go to the site which I think is caused because of the DB connection. Does anybody know what DB table or php file contains the MYSQL credentials?
Adding more information to my request.
Tim, I plan to migrate the contents of staging.<domain name>.org to staging2.<domain name>.org. I plan to use the exact same database, but create a new database user. I assume I will need to upate the DB connection string somewhere? Also, is the URL hard-coded in the database?
I have been tasked to migrate a website running Big Tree 4.0 RC2 on an Ubuntu server that is end of life. I have no documentation on the site. This is my first time reviewing BitTree CMS.
My plan is to migrate to CENTOS 7.5
I searched the BigTree website, but I can't find instructions for migrating to a new server. Can anybody point me to the right direction.
I also plan to upgrade to the latest BigTree version once I am on the new Centos 7.5 server.
Thank you in advance for your help.
