Sure. Challenge accepted. lol. Thanks for the assis, much appreciated.

Im a drummer. Or was, I sell drumming books and other types of books. I just want to keep all my publishing related stuff on a server of its own rather than mising all sites for different purposes/companies, if you will. Im great at building the sites etc, but not so great at selling stuff. Which as I believe is the norm. The PS install is for print on demand suff as well as books.

All the mods are the same. I will eventually double check, but they are the same, I checked when I installed everything. I like to get mod security etc installed before going into more detailed config... of everything. As that can sometimes kick out ID issues. But the chosts were also copied over. I usually delete the mod security settings in a vhost then start again to seet it up properly. But as of now, its installed and I will be mocing onto the third server. Im currenly clearing the cache to see if its working after that. I dont get it to be honest as I cleared the cach in the back end and the browser cache. Just doing it manually justt in case. But if its working... I have no idea why. Or why its reverted to blue buttons. But thats the least of the issues if its working again.

I just reverted back to PS from woo, and its working fine. But yesterday, I installed PS 1.7.9.11 (same as mine), fresh install to see if it cvame up with any errors. Then I installed PS 8 and no errors weerre detected. Having just reverted to my old/previous not working well version. Its now working fine. But I think its picking up content from a previous install as the buttons are default blue (mine are/should be red). But its working. Ill clean the cache folder out manually to see if its still working then.

No Im using 7.2 on the new one too. Same OS ubuntu 20.04 (Il check). I checked and thers a thing. The old one is 22.04 and the new one is 20.04 ubuntu that is.

Yes, php7.2 extensions and settings, same for mysql 8, apache, permissions are all the same. 0755 folders and 644 files, I dont think there are different ones. I baiscally copied settings over once everything was working. And as I say, the site only started working when I added the ini_set('max_execution_time', 6000); in the vhost.??? there are some other settings that dont work on the new one such as having this line in the vhost file: I will look into this later. FcgidMaxRequestLen 30000000

Also, I copied the mysql settings over to the new server (as well as php settings), and that also seemed to make a difference with more connections ets. But its still too slow to use. On the ovh system it is fast, even without the cache on. Im thinking of keeping the server at ovh active and move it over to the new place when I sort it out and the sitre is faster. I have wordpress and joomla sites installed also and they are much slower on the new vps. especially wordpress. But I always thought WP was a complete mess of a site. each to their own I guess.

I cant figure it out to be honest, so nothing yet. I actually installed woo and to be honest, my previous ovh servers were much faster and the new contabo ones aree way slower. But the contabo ones have room to upgrade in steps which is why I moved. Theyre cheaper and with more resources. However, I am currently configuring the new servers to reflect the old on. And an initial config that got the site working, albeit slow was to add this to the chost file in apche. ini_set('max_execution_time', 6000); I have no idea how or why that worked. I also remember some configs related to file limits being added to the server settings somewhere. I will post them here as I try them. But at present Im focusing on getting all the sites over to the new vpss, Il dig into more detailed config problem solving over the coming weeksAnd post my findings here. Also, Im not sure if this has anything to do with it but my previous vps has 1gbits connection. The new one only has 200mbits connection. The sites are noticable slower, but as I said, those numbers go up as I upgrade the servers so can handle it so far. If you find a solution I would appreciate it. Many thanks.

Thanks, I appreciate it, but thats not the issue. everything works fine on my old vps and the htaccess is there too.

www-data as its in the web root. Theres an htsaccess in there with this content: # Apache 2.2 <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c> Order deny,allow Deny from all </IfModule> # Apache 2.4 <IfModule mod_authz_core.c> Require all denied </IfModule>

I thought I would try a new install to see if it showed any errors. I installs 1.7.9.11, that went okay. Then I installed 8.1, and that went okay. Everything went smooth, no errors no issues. Then when it came tio using the shop.... well, its unusable. I think prestashop should stop integrating this that and the other and work on a script that does adequate checks to find problems with a server, php or other requirements. Strange though how its running smoothly on my old server. I think Im going to dump it and look for another script.

Now the error has changed to these below. The sites now working out of debug mode front and back end but its ridiculously slow. Any ideas?

One question. Would PS put itself in Debug Mode? Because its not in debug mode on the old server but then it is on the new one? Wondering whether to copy everything over again. The database changes dont seem to have done anything.

4 vCPU Cores 6 GB RAM 400 GB SSD Plenty of space I just discovered there are quite a few mysql configs I hadnt done on the new server so am reverting back to that server, having copied the mysql settings from the old server, which is really fast and less resources than the new one. Ill post how it goes in a while after the dns propogates
