I`ve made DB- backup  and dropped it to another host and sitename, after that I can`t login and register The requested URL /join was not found on this server. Error 404

Where can be important reason for that? May be special rights for some folders or in DB?

Also, Is it OK for Oxwall to execute Cron job every 2 hours, because of strict settings on host

I can`t get it for ****** only 00 */2 * * * wget ...

May be this caused problem 404

Its best to do a fresh install of oxwall on your new site then import your database.

You also need to to zip up your

ow_pluginfiles
ow_plugins
ow_userfiles

directories and transfer them to your new site.

It is important that your new site is compatible with the requirements of Oxwall

make sure your host meets the following hosting requirements:
  • Linux/Unix/Windows
  • Apache 2 or higher (with mod_rewrite module)
  • PHP 5.2.6 or higher with:
    • register_globals off
    • safe_mode off
    • suPHP off
    • suApache off
    • suhosin off
  • PHP modules:
    • PDO
    • DOM
    • mbstring
    • zip
    • zlib
    • ftp
    • json
  • MySQL 5.0 or higher
  • GD Library 2 with FreeType support
  • Mail server (SendMail, Exim or other)
  • Cron

Your cron will be only effective and fast if the minutes are set between 1 to 15 minutes. 2 hours would make your site far to slow

But on current host after migration DB+files I can see only index page..Its OK

But another links (join, my-profile, sign-in) doesn`t work ..It gives 404 error
