Installing an old application to a new server

[eluser]TWP Marketing[/eluser]
That's a difference from my system, I'm not operating as root, and have to change ownership to match my username. But not significant for this problem. You are logged-in as root, right?
Do you have other controllers which extend MY_Controller? Do they give the same error if you call them via URL like login.php?

[eluser]Rurik[/eluser]
never mind what was here before, i realised my mistake there. Now when i say application/controllers/login.php i get a 500

[eluser]TWP Marketing[/eluser]
I"m about to go offline here.
Does your apache error log say anything about the 500 error?

There are a whole lot more PHP dynamic library failures above those

[eluser]Aken[/eluser]
There's your fatal error...

[eluser]TWP Marketing[/eluser]
I assume that line 4 in todays errors is the class declaration line:

[Tue Sep 11 09:30:39 2012] [error] [client 10.22.110.202] PHP Fatal error: Class ‘MY_Controller’ not found in /var/www/webFiles/application/controllers/login.php on line 4

The warnings about the mysql.so and mysqli.so files mean there may have been problems (prior to today) with the database server. Can't speak to those, but they don't appear in today's run, so you may have fixed it...

Let me remove my MY_Controller and see what Apache says about it in my log.
I'll get back tomorrow morning.

[eluser]TWP Marketing[/eluser]
I renamed MY_Controller.php and got a similar error:

Fatal error: Class 'MY_Controller' not found in /var/www/twpmarketing/application/controllers/twpm.php on line 3

We found the problem child, now why isn't it visible to Apache?

Spelling
access permissions
user

Could you post the first few lines of MY_Controller.php and let us see if it looks ok?
I know it works on the other server, but...

I'll be back tomorrow, maybe Aken can follow up???

[eluser]Rurik[/eluser]
I am so sorry I didnt reply until now, but for some reason I didnt get an email from your last post. I will get the info now and edit this post with it.

The only thing which looks unfamiliar to me is the last line: "end file", which might be replaced with a closing bracket '}' and the text turned into a comment:

Code:

...
} // end file

The trick is to avoid any spaces after the final text, which can cause a failure that is difficult to diagnose, since the space isn't visible. Using the comment makes it irrelevant how many spaces are there.

[eluser]Rurik[/eluser]
I put that in myself just now to show that it was the whole file. Its not in the actual file.

Where does it tell the controllers to look for My_Controller?

Setting the core folder to 777 doesnt fix it, so its not permissions on MY_Controller
