Changing URL

[toaldingham]

Hi,

I searched the forums but I can't find a suitable answer, though this may be enitrely due to the fuzzy head I seem to have on today.

Our site is located at:
http://84.51.237.128/index.php?main_page=index

However, our domain name is set up through 1and1 and called www.1to1music.co.uk

I'm provided two options for forwarding the www.1to1music.co.uk domain in the interface, either through Frame Redirect or HTTP Redirect. Frame Redirect obviously places the shop in a frame and removes any extensions, such as the 'index.php?main_page=index' above. HTTP Redirect forwards all users whop enter www.1to1music.co.uk to http://84.51.237.128/index.php?main_page=index.

Neither of these options are perfect, ideally we want the user to see the extension after the www.1to1music.co.uk, i.e. www.1to1music.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index etc.

Do you guys have any idea how to do that?

I hope I have been clear,

Thanks

Look at includes/configure.php and see what you have for the fields I've highlighted in red (the content is nonsense).

// Define the webserver and path parameters
  // HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.your_domain.com
  // HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.your_domain.com
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'url);
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'url');

Do the same for admin/includes/configure.php

  
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'url);  
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'url);
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'url);  
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'url);

Thanks for replying AFO,

they read as:

includes/configure.php

// Define the webserver and path parameters
  // HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg, http://www.yourdomain.com
  // HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg, https://www.yourdomain.com
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://84.51.237.128');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://84.51.237.128');

admin/includes/configure.php

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://84.51.237.128');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://84.51.237.128');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://84.51.237.128');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://84.51.237.128');

Thanks

Change all instances of 84.51.237.128 to www.1to1music.co.uk. That should do it.

AFO,

Thanks for your help. Sadly, once i hanged this over the whole site wiped! I think i'll have to go back to JSWEB, our hosts, to sort the problem out.

Many Thanks

What do you mean "whole site wiped"? Is the domain name pointed to the site?
