Switching URLS
Hi, I am trying to change the url to a site i built on ps.accarter.com to psbooks.org – both urls publish from the same folder. Simply changing the url in preferences works only when I switch to using messy urls. Does anyone know why this is? Is there somewhere else I have to change the site url?
Thank you for your help!
Best,
Allison

Re: Switching URLS
What does you .htaccess look like?

Re: Switching URLS
It looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
clean urls worked on the old url…
thanks!!

Re: Switching URLS
Ok so .htaccess is not the problem. Can you post the diagnostics?
Normally when moving a site you’d have to change config.php as well, but if I understand correctly this is not a move, right?

Right – it’s not a move, just a change of the url where it’s published.

Re: Switching URLS
1. I see a double slash in Document root, don’t know if that is relevant.
2. Actually I meant diagnostics when permanent link mode is set to clean urls, so we can see if there are any error messages in diagnostics.

Re: Switching URLS
…both urls publish from the same folder.
What does that mean, exactly?
You may need to tinker with the mod_rewrite rules a bit.

Re: Switching URLS
it means that the location of files for ps.accarter.com and psbooks.org is the same – a directory named ps in my public folder.
does that make sense?

Re: Switching URLS
What I am wondering is if you have some kind of redirecting in place that is confusing the url rewriting.
Offline
Re: Switching URLS
oh, no. no redirect and no mirrors – just two urls assigned to the same directory.
if there were a redirect i don’t think messy urls would work either?
Offline
Re: Switching URLS
okay there’s definitely something weird going on though – i just deleted ps.accarter.com to prove that it wasn’t a redirect. the site is still running, but none of my background images are showing up.
*I also just repaired my db to make sure, and still no-go.
