    Hi, I am having major problems with my websites after migrating to new host. Getting 500 Internal server errors. My host has said this:

    <<<Your .htaccess files are compatible only with older outdated versions of PHP and SuPHP, apparently run by your old host. Please edit your .htaccess files and remove any php_value directives, as they are incompatible with SuPHP and new PHP versions.

    We have found that these invalid directives were placed there by the NinjaFirewall WordPress plugin>>>

    So does that mean I cannot run Ninja Firewall at all on my current host? My Ninja Firewall is the latest version – I always update it.

    The host did this: <<<I ran a shell command which disabled all the invalid directives in your .htaccess files and your sites are now working.>>>

    So now I get “NinjaFirewall fatal error: Unable to communicate with the firewall. Please check your PHP INI settings. Review your installation, your site is not protected.”

    What do I do please? ??

    Hi,

    Follow the documentation if you want to migrate your site: https://nintechnet.com/ninjafirewall/wp-edition/help/?faq

    Can I migrate my site(s) with NinjaFirewall installed?
    In order to migrate your site, you must follow those steps:
    1. Export your NinjaFirewall configuration from the “Firewall Options” menu.
    2. With your FTP client, download its log and cache folder located in /wp-content/nfwlog/.
    3. Uninstall NinjaFirewall.
    4. Migrate your site.
    5. Install NinjaFirewall.
    6. Reimport its configuration from the “Firewall Options” menu.
    7. Upload its /wp-content/nfwlog/ folder to your new site (unless you already copied it during the blog migration).

    Note that “File Check” configuration cannot be exported/imported.exported/imported.

    Thank you! Bugger. Is it possible to repair the sites, as they have already been migrated by my host? Or will I have to go back and start from scratch?

    Or … I have WPTwin backups of all the sites, from immediately prior to migrating. These could be installed over top of current WP installations?

    Simply remove the NinjaFirewall directives from your .htaccess (but it looks like your host did that, didn’t he?), and re-install NinjaFirewall.

    If you have many sites, re-install NinjaFirewall on one site, export its configuration, re-install on other site and re-import the configuration so that you won’t have to configure each one separately.
