title: Migrating Silverstripe CMS system from one server to another
body: <p>Im relatively new to silverstripe cms and Im trying to move a site to a new host.
  I followed all the instructions I could find on their official forums but to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I mean.
  Here you can see what the site should look like</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.efekto.co.za" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.efekto.co.za</a></p>
  
  <p>But this is what it looks like after I have moved it (copied everything to my public_html folder on the new site, set up the db username and passwords etc)</p>
  
  <p>Please help cause I'm utterly and truly stuck at the moment.</p>

  <p>Since someone else initialy moved the site so I decided to delete everything and move everything myself. Its hard to explain otherwise what I have tried or not tried.</p>
  
  <p>First I tried to install just a base silverstripe. Got that right pretty much but only after I specified the database ip as 127.0.0.1 and not the external ip. So I deleted the base install again, copied over all the site files again and this time modified the db params to use 127.0.0.1 Some of the pages now actually reflect valid content but it seems that everything is not this light blue kind of color (seems to be a default of SS? ) It is as if it's missing some kind of master page or something as I can see content, but no module thingies like menus, blog section etc.</p>
  
  <p>I also have to mention that to test this I change my hosts file so that www.efecto.co.za resolves to the sites new ip address with our new host. So from my machine it resolves to new ip but from the servers perspective when it fetches things like css its obviously going to fecth it from where www.efekto.co.za is currently hosted. Hope that makes sense?</p>
  
  <p>So 1 step in the right direction at least. We have content and no more errors. Now whats up with this blue color scheme??</p>
