thinking of moving my hosting, is it going to be a nightmare
what do I have to backup, I done the backup in the system/tools/backup restore
using 2.3.02
First, export your database via phpmyadmin.
Next, copy all files from your current site.
On your new server create database, and import database (via phpmyadmin) which you have exported from old server.
Upload all files to the new server, which you have copied from the old one. Edit config.php and admin/config.php
And maybe you need to change DNS entries on your new server to make your new site live. In this case you should ask your new server provider what to do.
That's all you need to do.

Are you running Cpanel? You might find the backup/restore feature on there easier to use. Check you have created the database and user and set the right permissions.

Looks like you ticked the checkbox to create a database when you exported from original host.
I would advise against that.
Manually create the database on the new server.
Export from the old server but don't tick the create database checkbox.
You should then be able to import the backup in to the new database using the Import tab once you have selected the new database on new server

went to export again and went through custom fields but there is no checkbox for create database, there is going to be compatibility issues on new server nothing like this goes straight forward, I would be happy to start from scratch if I could get into the opencart admin but wont go any further than the log in screen
I'm happy to take a look if you get really stuck.

You are providing a URL to your OC admin where authentication is obviously required. In addition, I would not suggest posting your token string from the URL that includes your domain name.xairflyer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 10:42 pmthis is what comes up in address bar after it refreshes when i enter my login details

So what is stopping me getting in?, its a new database, new install zero other files to cause an issue/conflict
there were no errors at installation, whats the point having an error check system it if it dosnt show an error?

Which is when and why, the back-end access logs from your host console or FTP becomes useful. It might also be possible that your access logs might be disabled, by default, on your domain. I would first check in the FTP - > logs folder located before the public_html folder by viewing the most recent activities.there were no errors at installation, whats the point having an check system it if it dosnt show an error?

Let one of the pros have FTP access and they can probably help a bit more.

There is a log folder in file manager in cpanel one of the files I can view it is full of stuff which looks repeatedstraightlight wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 4:02 amWhich is when and why, the back-end access logs from your host console or FTP becomes useful.

Which this page on cPanel can also be limited to 300 MB in size of information as compared to the host's file manager console's log folder or FTP log folder located on your root domain folder.There is a log folder in file manager in cpanel one of the files I can view it is full of stuff which looks repeated

My hosting company guy Found login problem he said its an opencart bug and changed below
HTTPS_SERVER" URL http to https in admin/config.php file
whatever the problem was I can get in now, all my database is there but no images,
HTTPS_SERVER" URL http to https in admin/config.php file
whatever the problem was I can get in now, all my database is there but no images,
config.php and admin/config.php files don't represent bugs. However, if no images are being shown, ensure your .htaccess file is properly configured if using SEOs and matches with both PHP config files.
