I've been running moosocial for about a year but need to move it to another server.   Read the article located here: https://moosocial.com/knowledge-base/how-to-move-your-moosocial-site-to-another-server/ and followed the directions. 
 
The problem I run into is because I'm running moosocial from a different folder/path, it looks like CakePHP is still looking in the old location. 
 
So what I've done is installed and configured moosocial on the new server in the correct folder but when I copy over the old files and folder structure, it reverts back to CakePHP being configured 
 
Is there folders or files I should not copy over that will allow this to work?

What I have done so far always, is using the backup/restore plugin for this.
You can backup your old site (all files/folders/database) from the moo admin.

Then install a fresh new moosocial including backup plugin... upload the backup file .. and restore it.
The problem I run into is because I'm running moosocial from a different folder/path, it looks like CakePHP is still looking in the old location. => Can you capture a screenshot ? Maybe it relates to the cache issue . I suggest that you need to set "System mode" is "Development 2" before migrating database and files to new server .
I tried several times back in October 2019 when this was originally written and again recently and it was just now that I was successfully able to transfer my running moosocial site to another service and here's what I think helped.

1) putting the system in development 2 before backing anything up
2) deleted the files in app/tmp/cache/persistent (but I'm not sure this was necessary)
3) copying the .htaccess file which wasn't copied by default

Moving the .htaccess file is what worked for...  more
