Site Layout Very Distorted after Moving Directories

[Airspeed]

www.airspeed-x.com/index.php to see what I mean...

I changed directories from public_html/catalog to just /public_html and now I'm getting what you see above. Is there any hope? Or should I just delete everything and start again? I did make a backup before doing this, but Im not sure if that will help for a fresh installation? Yikes...

Did you have a htaccess at this level tht maybe you did not get rid of?

Try making a copy of these to your local and deleting them from the server and see if that helps

Also check that you have made the corrections to your configure.php files in all places and to both of them

I did have an htaccess file at that level that I did not get rid of. I just did, however no change. The htaccess file was completely empty anyway.

I also read a post from Dr Byte, and mentioned that there should not be /public_html/ in the configure.php files for DIR_WS_CATALOG or the HTTP_SERVER setting. I have it set as that, so I guess Ill just change it to "//" and see what happens...

This is my current admin configure.php file:

This is incorrect.

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/public_html/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/public_html/');

It sets your base path to be: <base href="http://airspeed-x.com/public_html/" />


Change both your config files to read:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

[kobra]

Try

  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

The one you posted belongs at /admin/includes/
Also make certian that you also edit the one at /includes

Thanks a lot Website Rob and kobra! Looks like you two had a race going! I'll give it a try.

EDIT: It worked! ...and I still have some hair left!

Now, do I have to have that htaccess file present? There currently isn't one present in the current directory.
Thanks again guys!

When two great minds are giving the same advice, how can you go wrong?
