Moving site to new server - strange URL redirect/duplication issue
Permalink
I'm moving the site from Media Temple's Grid Service to their Dedicated Virtual server. I've followed all of these steps:
http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/installation/moving_a_site/...
The domain name hasn't resolved yet, so we are using the IP address to test the site (http://205.186.160.138/). I have put this in the site.php file as:
define('BASE_URL', '205.186.160.138');
The problem is that when I hit the site athttp://205.186.160.138, the site automatically redirects tohttp://205.186.160.138/205.186.160.138/.... I'm completely at a loss as to why this is happening; could it be due to the IP address?
I've checked all of the file permissions, deleted and re-imported the database... can someone please help?

I believe you need to have the "http://" in the BASE_URL define. I'm not sure if that's the cause of your issue, but it may be...
That was it! Always something simple and stupid that causes so much heartache. Thank you so much!
