Moved site -- Login block is flakey
Permalink
Hello!
So this is a new one to me. I moved a site to a different host it live and I'm running into some weird issues. The site is appearing fine, but there were some weird issues:
1.) The Pretty URLs are not working.
2.) The htaccess won't let me do some 301 redirects correctly.
3.) The login page won't redirect properly. It will go from index.php/login to index.php/login/do_login and just stick on the login page with NO error. However, if I go to index.php/dashboard, it will ask me to login and then will login correctly and kick me to the dashboard.
Anyone have a guess what's going on? I'm completely and utterly at a lost.
Thanks!

Also, some plugins aren't working when logged out. (ie. Proevents) It works fine in staging site.
The usual things to check (and remove) are the pretty urls code in .htaccess and the pretty urls bit in the database Config table. Clear both of these manually and you will have pretty urls turned off - once logged in and working, you can turn them on again through the dashboard.
Also make sure all the caches are all off (more bits in the Config table) and then empty the cache folder, and that the encryption key in config/site is correct.

Hey JohntheFish!
I'll have to try this early in the morning maybe. This hosting and caching is very fickle and it can easily cause it to crash. Do you think the caching issue might have something to do with how some plugins only work when logged in?

Hey JohntheFish!
Turns out it was because it was a Windows hosting. :( That was the reason why everything wasn't acting accordingly.
Thanks for any tips!
