Hi all, I'm in need of some help!!! I've paid for 2 developers to do some work on a site of mine and they have messed up to say the least... twice!!! anyway, that's beyond this... I own a series of websites I own a adult website and we've been developing a social network AND a shop... the issue I'm having is with the shop. The developer has installed my oscommerce site on www.datplay.com whilst it should be installed on www.datpleasures.com I have hosting with godaddy so I've set up the addon domain for datpleasures and the MySql is already set up so I thought it was just a case of moving all the files over to datpleasures folder (directed at datpleasures.com) THE ISSUE When I move the files from the root folder (which is datplay) to the datpleasures folder (which is the addon domain for datpleasures) The index and everything looks fine BUT to click on "my account" or a product or any link at all it will direct you to "datplay.com/myaccount" and so fourth so it's a nightmare!! Can anyone shed any light on this at all, do I need to update the database? can I re-install oscommerce and just paste over the files with the ones I have? Thanks in advance!
Check if there is .htaccess file in the root folder. It can be doing redirects. Open it with anything like notepad and look into it. Then just replace domain name in there. But on the other hand it can be hardcoded. ... Looking at your page. First thing to do is edit this line base href="http://www.datplay.com/" in the header of your website. It will start pulling images at least. All the rest looks like hard coded, i.e. links are written together with the domain name. Good luck ...
Hi all, I've managed to fix this! in case anyone in the future comes across this issue I'm going to post what you need to do. Firstly back up all files including the MySql should anything go wrong you don't want to experience loosing everything as your last ditch attempt to regain everything will be finding a old back up through your hosting company and risk loosing valuable information. I downloaded the files to my desktop, from there I found the files includes>configure.php AND Admin>Includes>Configure.php opening both these files you will see, website title, url and so fourth... in my case it was www.datplay.com BUT I wanted it to be www.datpleasures.com Simply find and replace with the new domain and upload the files to your server. Hope this helps and finds you spending less time on this then I did. Chris
