    Problems moving site to new server

    I'm the admin for supraforums.com. For some time I've been running the site on a shared Linux box. But it was time to upgrade them to a dedicated server. And to get it up quick I did it with Windows 2000 Server - I will rebuilt it with Linux sometime soon, but right now it's Windows/IIS 5.0.

    I got the database transferred and loaded on the new box. Then to transfer the forum, all I did was basically copy the files unchanged from the old server to the new one. Same directory structure and all - all I changed was the config.php for the new database username, password.

    The problem is that things are acting very strangely. This site is the only one on the server. I start IIS and the page works fine. Then after a few minutes of running I get this error:

    Code:
    PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 01293E71
    Also, sometimes this error pops up:

    Code:
    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare stripslashesarray() in D:\supra\forum\global.php on line 10
    And even while the site is working, I get this error at the top of every page:

    Code:
    Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\supra\forum\admin\config.php:74) in D:\supra\forum\admin\functions.php on line 1459
    Basically I'm just wondering what I should look at? I'm using PHP 4.1.2 and the latest MySQL on the server. I have disabled a lot of services, but I can't imagine any of those being related to this. Are there any config settings in the php.ini that I might have wrong? Help please!

    The old forum ran on PHP 4.0.6 and MySQL 3.23.41 ... could upgrading to 4.1.2 and 3.23.49 while still using the same forum files cause a problem?

    Is there anything Windows specific that needs to change?

    I'm stumped here ...

      windows servers

      i'm not sure about the first 2 errors but the last one, check to see if your /admin/config.php file has extra line breaks before and after the opening and closing php tags <?php and ?>

      also post a url to your phpinfo file
