I'm stumped/ Databes linked to another website

[rascal2trust]

I have had had problems installing this moded ver 2.2, I have gone through every thing i can think of, it looks like my database has somehow been linked to someone elses website, http://pengwinpc.net, if you go

here and then click on create account, look at categories, and mouse over

them.It links to another website. Any ideas

 

Thanks Jim

is there any particular reason you installed a modified versions as opposed to a 2.2 snapshop.

 

i suggest you go back and start from the begining, installing a recent snapshot, this will give you a fresh database and cure your problem. it should only take a few minutes to do this...

 

but maybe someone more experienced will provide a better solution for you....

 

Cheers

Check the two configure.php files. I have managed to do this myself before where I uploaded everything to a new site then used the wrong configure.php files and suddenly I am on a different site.

 

Otherwise. see if you have a .htaccess file that has gotten into your root by mistake. I have had one of my hosting companies make this error and mess up my life for a day trying to figure out what the heck was going on.

 

NOTE: some ftp programs you cannot see the .htaccess files and it is better to look with Cpanel or whatever they gave you to manage your files with.

I checked everthing as you suggested Linda, but no luck, Hosting company says database looks okay, so wherewould I look to find out where the mckay.com url is coming from, i have been thru every thing i can think of and can't find a link or anything from any of the mods that i have installed.

OK, here is my eductated guess.

 

Both shops have cache enabled an bith shops are using the same directory to store the cached pages (it defaults to /tmp).

 

Solution:

 

Either disable the caching system or change the caching directory to something other than /tmp.

 

I am quite sure I am close ;-)

That was the problem, I have been looking for hours trying to find it.

You have no idea how much I appreciate the help Jan. I will notify hosting

company to avoid problems in the future. Again thanks, now I can go to work trying to find all of the other little bugs.

 

Thanks Jim.

Glad I could help. And just keep on asking. There shouldn't be too much bugs in osCommerce ;-)
