Moving from another server

We're trying to move a zen installation from one server to another. The moved files and data appear to connect to the database but but we're getting the following errors when we go to the page.

------At the top of the page:
Warning: session_save_path() [function.session-save-path]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/uswatchservice_com/public_html/store/cache) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/diamondw:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/diamondw/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 154

---end

------- At the bottom of the page:
Fatal error: Call to a member function Execute() on a non-object in /home/diamondw/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 72
---end

I can eliminate the messages at the top by suppressing the warning messages (inserting a @) but I haven't found the cause of the message at the bottom.

Any help would be appreciated.

Warning: session_save_path() [function.session-save-path]:
Get the fix cache key tool

Then see if the rest were just spawned from the first

Thank you for the reply.

Executing this script did find an inconsistency and appears to have fixed it.

I suppressed the warning messages by reinserting the "@" in line 111; it did not need the supression in line 154.

The fatal error message is still being displayed however.

Fatal error: Call to a member function Execute() on a non-object in /home/diamondw/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 72

The line it is referring to is as follows:

  $qid = "select count(*) as total
          from " . TABLE_SESSIONS . "
          where sesskey = '" . zen_db_input($key) . "'";

line 72 ===>> $total = $db->Execute($qid);

  if ($total->fields['total'] > 0) {
    $sql = "update " . TABLE_SESSIONS . "
            set expiry = '" . zen_db_input($expiry) . "', value = '" . zen_db_input($value) . "'
            where sesskey = '" . zen_db_input($key) . "'";

    return $db->Execute($sql);

Thanks again and a thank you to any additional help.

First I would not be supressing any error messages as one does not know what other issues might crop up.

This is most likely a file issue during transfer?
Were these files downloaded and moved via FTP?
What FTP client do you use?
What are the server specs for the donor server and the receiving server?
What Zen Cart Version is this?

The down and dirty method is to re upload all the core files from a fresh distribution but one must have adhered to the override system fully not to loose any modifications.

Thanks again.

I will try to move the files again.

Without the supression, the warning messages for "open_basedir restriction in effect" messages come up. I don't have access to php.ini to change any settings.

Again, thinks.

Every time I've had the 'open_basedir' error, it was something my hosting company had to fix.

You've got an incorrect path specified in your configure.php file and/or your Session Directory setting in your database.

I tried to follow the instructions in https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=100 but I have a problem. The program was installed on the other server using fantastico. The version (according to version.php is 1.2.5 with no patch levels. I can't find a copy of 1.2.5 to download and I don't have that particular version.

I did follow the database instructions and the basedir errors went away after running the fix program (I deleted the program after). But I still have the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function Execute() on a non-object in /home/diamondw/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 72

Are there any suggestions?

You can obtain v1.2.5 from our SourceForge download area: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=83781&package_id=125709

But I still have the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function Execute() on a non-object in /home/diamondw/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 72

That's a PHP5 incompatibility between Zen Cart v1.2.x and PHP 5.

Dr Byte ... thank you for the information. Your time and knowledge are appreciated.
