@jjthomas I registered a new account in your site and was able to login with no problem, but suddenly it went offline and I couldn't keep making tests.

Did you always use https ?

Yes on https

$baseurl = 'https://www.027esc.com/';

It did change it to $baseurl = 'http://www.027esc.com/'; I still was unable to log in.

I did check and the site is up. Since I move the site to a new server, there may be some DNS issues while the new address propagates through the all the DNS servers. Or I may need to tune the firewall, I tend to be overzealous.

Please let me know if you are still unable to access my site.

Thank you for helping.

I tried to log in from my computer at work. The screen would flash, but I was not able to get to loged in. I tried to log in from my cell phone and it still would not let me log in.

Thank you.

2 Cents: Try to clear the /cache folders on the server.

Cleared all the cache's on my site and on my browsers. Still not letting me log in.

Thank you.

I've reinstalled b2evolution on my new server. I still cannot log in. I cleared my cache and still cannot log in. I purchased a new smart phone and it won't log in.

To reinstall, I followed the instructions on the move-my-installation page. I used rsync to copy the files over and kept the same structure layout. I've made sure the permissions are correct.

I've also noticed that the Contact link is not working.

I also reset the skin and changed the skin.

Is there anything else I can do / try?

Thank you.

check your .htaccess file

Clearly there is something doing weird redirects on your new server.

It might also be some pseudo smart pseudo security thing installed by your web host.

Checking logs, I found the error: [:error] [pid 31333] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ModSecurity: Audit log: Failed to create subdirectories: /usr/local/apache/logs/modsec_audit/xxxxxxxxx/20151009/20151009-1419 (Permission denied) [hostname "www.027esc.com"] [uri "/rsc/css/item_base.css"] [unique_id "VhgvWEPeFIYAAHpl57gAAAAA"]

Digging further, I found several files with odd permissions, permission for a non-existent users. Unfortunately, I think it was me that introduced the errors.

I'll check with my VPS provider and get it all rebuilt. This is a new installation, so no big deal.

I'll let you how part two goes.

Part 2:

I got my VPS rebuilt. I've decided to go from scratch. I've been using b2evolution since 2000. I've moved it from blog to blog, server to server, to server... :) I think somewhere along the line I've managed to pick up a couple of weird files. This will give me a chance to clean up some of my old un-published postings I've accumulated throughout the years.

Thank you for your help.
