I searched the FAQ. I read the FAQ. I Live the FAQ.
I'm moving hosts. I thought I did it right - spent a week reading the tutorials ahead of time. It didn't prepare me for this. I haven't moved my old domain on the DNS. My new host (hostgator) has me on a "temp" URL - just an IP address/~joejoejoe.
When I signed up they asked for a domain name - I gave them the one I was using on the old host with the understanding they wouldn't move it on the DNS until I was ready. (Let's call that domain name joejoejoe.com)
So I did a fresh install, got to the page where you click one tab to go to the storefront - that worked, and the other to go to admin. That didn't. I look in the URL bar of the browser and it says joejoejoe.com/admin. I panicked, deleted and did the fantastico install (I know, I'm sorry!!!) Now I can get to the storefront, and I can get to the admin page if I type in the entire string: tempurl/zc_admin/login.php
But when I try to login and hit return - I get a 404 error and the URL says joejoejoe.com again. I tried changing the 2 config files, that didn't help. So I'm still stuck on step one - install a working ZC on the new host.
Version 1.3.9.
And if I seem strung out - it's 10:53 pm. I've been at it since 6:45 this morning. 3 pots of coffee, no lunch or dinner break and I am wired.............. Any help appreciated. If anyone has moved ZC to Hostgator I'd really like to talk to you if possible.
