Domain Name relocate yeilds empty Home and Admin page
Permalink
Hi,
I recently needed to move a Concrete site's Domain to another server.
The Concrete site was installed with Simple Scripts, so some of the Web redirect stuff was automatically put in place.
I didn't try to uninstall the site, just to allow direct access to it. So it used to be accessed ashttp://www.mysite.com redirect tohttp://www.site2.com/mysite. Now that mysite.com is gone, I still need to get to the site throughhttp://www.site2.com/mysite.
Basically, in the 'site.php' file I had to change the BASE_URL and DIR_REL to point to the subdomain on my server, rather than the original domain name.
Aftr doing this and trying to access the Concrete site, or the Admin login, the Web page goes blank and then says 'Done' on the status bar. No errors or warnings.
I can open a text file in my home folder for this sub domain, so I know the resolution of the Url is proper.
Is there a way to trace what Concrete is doing with the page when it is processing the request? Any other suggestions.
Thanks,
Bruce

can you please post the url, its hard to tell without seeing it
The URL to the subdomain is
http://stmarysblockparty.org/beckerbuilder...
An example of file url that will work is:
http://stmarysblockparty.org/beckerbuilder/LICENSE.TXT...
I tried to do a restore of a backup and now I get an error (Instead of a blank page): It says:
The website cannot display the page .... (HTTP 500 error)

I think you should sort this problem before directing anyone else to your site...
In regards to your problem, 2 suggestions - make sure you're using www. when visiting the site if that's listed in your BASE_URL - secondly, can you access your apache error_log file? Good chance that will show you your issue...

can you post your .htaccess,, if its not there, put a blank one
I've added the .htaccess file.
As far as the Norton report, my sites were hit with the 'Black Hat SEO' malware attack. There was a pretty good article about the attach and the inner workings athttp://community.ca.com/blogs/securityadvisor/archive/2010/01/18/bl...
I think I have it cleaned up, except for a couple of php errors like 'Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home4/stmarysb/public_html/fest/index.php:2) in /home4/stmarysb/public_html/fest/concrete/libraries/view.php on line 759'.
(Which was going to be my next research project). The Norton report will keep reporting the issue until one goes to them and appeals it and proves that things are ok, correct?
These past couple of weeks have really made me wonder whether it is worth it to try and keep Web sites going. I am pretty much doing this for our church and some family and friends while they try to get their businesses of the ground, but when hackers come in and reek havoc.... I am not an expert on Concrete's inner workings or PHP, but know a lot about Unix admin, probably not the latest on the Security aspects of it however.
I really appreciate the forum replies and like the attitude of the people associated with Concrete, and the product for that matter, so am willing to keep moving on and fix this and learn more about COncrete.
Now that my pity party is over, I'll go look into the Apache log files and track this bugger down!
Thanks

If you are still around, I am very curious about the resolution.
