testing to live - URL redirect issues
Permalink
Hi there,
I built a website on a subdomain: test.domain.com
The website is now ready to go and I have moved all the files tohttp://www.domian.com.
Problem is that the website when loading wants to redirect back to test.domain.com. I have changed the COnfig.php to
But it still wants to redirect.
Does anyone have any idea why this would happen?
Thanks

if you are on version 5.5+ you don't need to define base_url or dir_rel
That should be in
{site_root}/config/site.php
Sorry... yes I meant config/Site.php
Also I am on an earlier version of C5 so I assume I have to define still.
What can it be!!??
grrr

You could try adding this as well:
and see if it makes any difference. If this makes some difference, your site is probably getting the BASE_URL from somewhere else than your config... Dunno how but there might e.g. be some kind of customization in place.
Actually the automatic setting of BASE_URL has been already in 5.4.0.5 (without the possibility for https) but since 5.4.2 (I think) the installation process hasn't written that anymore to the config file.
define('REDIRECT_TO_BASE_URL', false);

Hey there.
This made no difference.
Is there anything I can look at using Firebug?
Thanks

Ok, hard to say without seeing the case in question. I think you cannot debug this with firebug, rather you should do server-side debugging and see what's wrong.
E.g. check apache configs whether there are some redirections and also you could check PHP-level whether the BASE_URL is correctly set (e.g. in some package's on_start function).

Check your htaccess file for a redirect declaration.
thanks for the response.
This is a little bit of a Blur to me :) I am not that technical.
I can forward details if you can be bothered ;) Understand if you can't though.
On the htaccess, I actually removed it, just incase. I am wondering if there is any serverside caching or am I speaking rubbish?

Yep, Start slapping your forehead....
in your config/site.php for your "Live" site you had the base url set tohttp://www.test.etc..
