Looks fine on this end when I visit your link.
If you are still having problems ensure you clear your browser cache.

The overlapping of the latest video into the primary links area to the right would be because the content area is so small for that theme.

It looks fine in firefox, but when i go on internet explorer it looks messed up.

Thanks

Also anyone know anything about phpbb? Sorry if I cannot ask this here.

I can't help with IE specific problems. Browser compatibility has been an issue for a long time.

questions about PHPBB forums script should be directed to that scripts, community. It's not that you aren't allowed to ask here, it's simply that you will find more users of PHPBB in that community.

Do you want your site in root, or in a subdirectory, like you have it now?

what is the server environment on the new server ?

version of PHP ?
version of MySQL ?
version of Apache ?

what environemnt is the site being moved from?

version of PHP?
version of MySQL?
version of Apache?

It's extremely difficult to help when things keep changing and 20 minutes between comments isn't a long time for those who've been trying to support you to keep up with the topic.

That aside, answer the questions above so we can better help you.

What exactly have you done to move the site?

a step by step by step would prove helpful and we can see what method you used and if you missed a step along the way.

Have you tried to install drupal on that "free host" to insure that drupal installs there under normal installation circumstances?

Ok the old host was hostgator.com, I am not sure what type they are. The new host is 000webhost.com.

The steps I took:

I copied all my files off of the old host. I downloaded them to my computer. Then I downloaded the databases. I went over to the new host, uploaded all the files, moved it to the root. I uploaded the database files into the new mysql I made on the new host. I did not do anything else with the MySQL, so I dont know if I had to run it or anything? Im not too sure this is the first time ive ever really got into them to get the files. Everything looked the same as it did on the origional host.

The reason I installed on the free host is because I needed to get it off my Hostgator account. Maybe the new host isnt compatable. I looked at everything and it seemed to match up.

Thanks

the name of the host doesn't help much. I don't have the time to research the versions for you. You shoudl do this and get back to us. Was the old host running PHP5 and the new PHP4? you need to know these things because they matter.

I clear all cache tables in the DB
I clear all sessions tables in the DB
and I clear the watchdog table in the DB

I do all of this before exporting the DB

you can try clearing the cache tables now on the new DB to see if that helps fix things.
If you didn't edit settings.php to point to the new DB, that is also a problem and you don't mention doing this in your steps.

The new host is PHP 5 just like the old one. I just cleared all the cahce tables, all the sessions tables and the watchdog table. I do not notice a change thought. Though I did do this on the new host so maybe that did it?

vm commented

please state which DB the new site is pointing to?
you can do this by opening settings.php and checking the $db_url = line does it start with mysqli < note the i

do not post the information, just ensure that the information contained on that line is pointing to the correct DB for the site you are working with. The moved site. If it isn't pointing to the new database that you created, clearing tables on that DB won't matter anyway.

Though I suppose if it was pointing at a completely different host it wouldn't be able to connect to the DB there any way but worth investigating none the less.

Ok that did help a lot. Now I see posts. Thought the template isnt working, and I cannot log in, I get this error

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, cpanel@hosting24.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

on your old host did you add anything at all to .htaccess ?

AKThunder88 commented

No. I am wondering, I see on this new host they have fantastico with drupal. Should I have just installed it that way, then uploaded the database and the extra templates?

vm’s picture

vm commented

I don't use fantastico for production sites and at this time I think it is best not to add another variable in the mix of problems you are having.

bwv commented

In my personal experience, Fantastico does not play well with drupal, and I believe its best not to use it, even if you have to manually set up your db tables.
