duplicated store/database in different directory, but the urls for product categories is wrong

[sukotto]

Hi

 

I wanted to duplicate my store to another directory, where I can test code and tweak the store, while the main store is still live.

 

The main store is www.sukottoinc.com, and I copied a duplicate to www.sukottoinc.com/wholesale/catalog

 

I also modified the configure files in wholesale/catalog to point to the correct place, and database. I created another database for the duplicate store to write to.

 

That part seemed pretty straightforward, based on what I read here in the forums. When I load up the index page of the duplicate store, everything is working fine, and all the links are working. So I click on a category link, and it takes me to the page that contains all the products within that category. This is where I start getting problems. My problem is that now, when I click on a product, or if I click on another category, the url is pointing back to the equipvalent page in the main store. I want the duplicate store to operate solely within the duplicate store, and not point it back tot he live store.

 

Can someone tell me what else I must do, to correct this, and have a fully functional duplicate store? From playing around with the configure file, I have come to the conclusion that somehow, the duplicate store is still referencing the configure.php file from the main store, and not the duplicated store. How can i fix this?

 

Thanks

If you just copied files, you may have copied cache files. Log into your admin section and go to Tools > Cache Control and refresh your cache.

I just tried this, but it doesn't work. The links are still not correct.

 

anything else I can try?

Can you post you configure file? (remove the database information)

Try

 define('ENABLE_SSL', true);			// secure webserver for checkout procedure?

I already tried a version like that, but it did not work. I tried it again, as you had posted, and still the links and categories from any other page other than the index.php, show the wrong links.

 

I left the configure file you posted active, if you want to take a quick look.

I should add that even the images being loaded are from the live store, and not the duplicate store.

I just noticed you're using mod_rewrite. Did you change the rewritebase in .htaccess for the wholesale/catalog directory?

:D :D :D

 

hahaha, victory!

 

Thank you, kgt, for your help.
