I've changed the config files but I'm still getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: catselector() in /home/craftygi/public_html/links/templatefunctions.php on line 169

I've checked the manual and searched the forum. Can't find anything like this. I haven't changed the DNS to the new host yet, so I can't follow the error procedure.

Any suggestions?? The error can be seen here at my temporary URL links location:

That error means you didn't completely upload the files, so it can't find a function that's in a file that's not there. Probably an FTP client hiccup.

Ok, I got the page to show up but lost all of my customization and linksraised eyebrow

Any suggestions on which of the files I might double check??

You can view the "trouble" page at http://st78.startlogic.com/~craftygi/links/ (says 0 links??)

And the "good" page at http://www.craftygiftcreations.com/links/

Thank you.

Try reuploading your default.css and also regenerating everything

I reuploaded the default.css but nothing changed. What do you mean by regenerating everything?

Any other suggestions??

If links are at (0) when they shouldn't be go to your admin > maintenance > regenerate counters and click on regenerate everything... on the top line. This should be done periodically anyway.

Looking at your new site it is definitely not reading the css file for some reason. Have you changed the name and using a different .css ?

Are you talking about the links/templates/styles/default.css?? The files from both links sites are identical. I just checked them with beyondcompare. I don't understand why it's not reading correctly. Is there another default.css file somewhere??

Looking at your source I see that you have given a true link to your graphics but your css is using {DIRURL}/templates/styles/default.css. I wonder if this is your problem, because the site is not propagated yet?

I was thinking that that might be the problem but I'm afraid to change the DNS without my links page working properly. Perhaps it won't work properly until I change the DNS.

I have changed the DNS servers but my links page is still not working or looking properly. Since I should probably upgrade anyway, I guess I will reinstall. Does anyone know which files/folders I need to keep for comparison to keep my customizations and links after I upgrade or reinstall??

Thanks.

Template customizations are all under /templates/, links are all in the database, for which you should keep a copy of config.php so that you remember the database info.

Reinstalling as in running setup.php again isn't going to help, that would just erase things and change nothing. Overwriting files might help, but if you look at your source it's done some rather severe modifications throwing in ?>s in various places causing your PHP to be exposed and not run. It could be a serious server problem I suppose.
