Domain redirection questions

[rooisnor]

No, it's got nothing to do with the database.So, if you're changing to a different domain, and not using the subdirectory anymore, just do this:

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.THENEWDOMAIN.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.THENEWDOMAIN.com');

  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

nope, when I want to upload it the .php file the font turns all yellow and it doesn't work. The Page is still screwed up and the links don't work

I think I'll just have to install a new version and came back to get the redirection working! Thanks... I'll report back

huh?

The file has to be marked read-write in order to upload changes.

I set the permissions to read/write but then the font turns black... the file doesn't look active! That's why say.. something went corrupt while I was trying to do a simple re-direction of an addon domain

black?
yellow?

Sounds like you're using a web-based file manager? It would likely be simpler and safer to use a normal FTP program for your actual file transfers.

I'm using Dreamweaver...

Again, safer to use an FTP program.

I need to have an editor to change scripts? Can't do it with File Zilla though... I use the latter to upload files...

Anyways... thanks for the help! This site is totally screwed up, so I'll install a fresh copy and do it all over again...

But I'll be back at this topic to get the re-direction done

[rooisnor]

hmmm... for some odd reason the site is working again without touching anything... seems to me the stylesheet kicked in again and all the links are working!

One question before I ramble on about the redirection... is the configuration.php in working order... or perfect?

It'll work, but it's set up to build links to your theartgangster.com domain, instead of the creativeart one

Thanks Dr!

I re did the site just for incase... the new folder for the addon domain is now /artist/

I'll appreciate if you can help me with the rest of the redirection of the domain. I've setup the cPanel to redirect to creativesportsart.com but would like to have all the links point to creativesportsart also...

Thanks
