Hi Jerry, 

If you email FTP and CMS login details to dave@interactivetools.com I could take a look.  

Likely what'll we'll do is just demonstrating to the host that things are misconfigured.  There's a number of very odd errors.

  • It says json_encode() isn't available but that's been built into PHP since v5.2: http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php
  • It's unusual to have errors about PHP not being able to load its own libraries
  • It's unusual that the path to the libraries are /php/56/ as PHP 5.6 extensions aren't always interchangeable with other versions

I'd see what your host says.  If they don't fix it right away (or have done so already), we can produce a simple test script that demonstrates one or more of those issues so they can debug.  My guess is they just built this version (phpinfo says it was compiled on January 14th) and it's just not configured properly.

For anyone who has a similar problem,

It turns out that I had inadvertently copied a php.ini file from the old site during the move and it had references to PHP5.6. This was overriding the php.ini in the root directory and causing the issues.

Thank you Dave for sticking with this and solving the problem.

Best,

Jerry Kornbluth
