Moved to new webhost, how do i remove the IP from the URL?

[boinkit]

I have just moved webhost and have moved an existing zencart install over (using the guidelines in this forum).
The store appears as it should and all works well, however the URLs shown are not as they were before.
So for example they used to be: www.domain.com/ they are are now 195.68.x.x./~username

I have repointed the domain to the new nameservers, but I don't know how to remove my webspace IP address and username from the store's URL.

I went into configure.php and changed the setting for the HTTP address (which was the temporary IP address) to give the store's domain name but this only led to the CSS being lost and the page was just full of text.

Can anyone help me complete this move over, which until now had been very smooth?

post your configure.php files here, without the password

Just to clarify, the ip address that comes up is the one in the config file, not the part that i wrote in my original message.

The store is at monkeynose(dot)com if you would like to have a better look at what i mean about the URL showing the IP address.

[DrByte]

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://195.62.28.203');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://195.62.28.203');

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

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

If you're going to drop the IP and the ~username, remove both of those and put back your URL.

ie:

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://YOUR_DOMAIN_HERE');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN_HERE');

  define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

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

Excellent! That works perfectly

Do I need to do the same with the configure.php file in the admin/includes folder?


Thanks again!

Yes ... Both files require similar edits. (remember the files are not entirely the same content, so don't copy-and-paste)
