First sorry for my bad English, if I am not clear pleas let me know.
I am using PGV 4.2.3 on a mysql DB.
On localhost I have encountered no problems but once downloading PGV on my website :
I have some problems displaying the blocs on the "Welcome page" and on the "MygedView Portal" page (All the rest works just fine) :
If not connected :
- Welcome page will have a normal displaying for the main body, but will repeat the top menu on the right side along with a "site is currently not available" bloc and connection formular ; and again the same blocs on the lower part of the page
If connected :
- Welcome page : will show alternative "normal blocs" (News, gedcom info ..etc) with "installation wizard blocs in beneath and on the right side
- Mygedview portal page : will show alternative "normal blocs" (on this day info , my messages , welcome bloc …etc) with "installation wizard blocs in beneath and on the right side
What i have done to import pgv on my website :
- Configuration and installation was done on my "localhost"
- ftp of all files on my website
- Imported the mysql BD on my website
- modified config.php to get the right $DBHOST ; $DBUSER ; $DBPASS ; $SERVER_URL
I have the same results browsing on Firefox or Safari.
Thanks for your help,
Paul

While performing a backup of your host data in a fashion as you have done would be OK, simply FTP-ing a complete installation is a BAD idea as the operation of the supporting platform is undoubtedly different processor, different memory and different software versions. This type of transfer is unsupported. And better yet, WHY, when installation and configuration of a new PGV site is so easy?
I would wipe the tables in the MySQL you populatied as well as the PGV folder and upload a virgin set of files from the SVN (as noted on several recent threads). v4.2.3 is one-year old and there were over 100 bug and security fixes since its release. Then, simply do an installation in a proper manner. Export the GEDCOM from your local setup into the index folder in the new, remote site and import that data into PGV. It is doubtful that on your local machine you had any/many users, so little to nothing will be lost there.
Finally, run the site and advise us if you have issues which we we may provide help. -Stephen

I'm not sure i followed everything you've said, but the normal installation procedure is to create a MySQL database for the PGV installation to install to, then letting the PGV installer write to the config.php file and install the database tables. PGV is designed to be installed using a script - I don't know of any recipe for hand-installation. The script installation is fairly efficient - a hand installation would almost certainly take longer.

I did not suggest importing the tables. I suggested you upgrade and then do a fresh GEDCOM import - no old data. Let the tables be repopulated with the new import data, especially if you don't have a lot of users. You would lose News, Favorites, HTML blocks and other configurations, as well as your USER information, but I think I'm to understand you don't have many.
You could try to do an upgrade on a copy of the existing installation and then capture those important tables (News, Favorites, User information) and copy those into a fresh copy via phpMyAdmin, but I wouldn't do so if it need not be. -Stephen

I'm pretty sure this is a configuration problem with your data and server setup. What do you have specified in your main site URL in the config.php ? And do you have a LogIn URL specified too?
The first should definitely be empty - no URL specified. Why not zip up a copy of the config.php and email it to me at:

Dear all,
First of all thank you for your answers and your help, and sorry for my late reply (I was abroad for a coupe of weeks).
Stephen, I have tried to wipe out all the PGV tables, reinstal from scratch and then importe tables back in but I get the same result again.
I'll keep searching and post if ever I find out what I have done wrong.
Happy new year and all the best to you all for the coming year !
Paul
Just in case here is the url to my pgv page : http://www.heliographies.fr/phpgedview/PhpGedView-all-4.2.3/
