Issue in Magento site after migration to AWS

Question

I am new to Magento, I have a task to migrate the Existing website built with Magento to AWS cloud(EC2)

Existing Magento Version - 1.9.1.1. I do not want to Upgrade it, as it is out of our scope of work.

I have Migrated all the source files and Database from old server to EC2 instance, So far so good.

After i point the DNS A record to new IP address, a blank page was showing, further debugged and changed as per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35611696/fatal-error-uncaught-error-function-name-must-be-a-string-in-c-xampp-htdocs-e from

$out .= $this->getBlock($callback[0])->$callback[1]();

to

$out .= $this->getBlock($callback[0])->{$callback[1]}();

Web Pages are Partially loading.

Now below lines are getting displayed and Product detailed page is also not working

getChildHtml('topContainer'); ?> 
getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('banner-block')->toHtml(); ?>
getChildHtml('cms_footer_links') ?> getChildHtml('footer_links') ?>

Please Help in getting this resolved.

Answer 1

you probably have something broken in your template php code. php tag is behind <!--:

<!--?php// echo $this--->
getChildHtml('topContainer'); ?>

you need to enable short_open_tag in php.ini to properly load templates.
