Just changed domain name - now images don't appear!

I recently changed my domain name. However, when I access my site online, none of the images appear. How can I fix this. Thanks!

Check to make sure the images are there (on the server) and your paths are correct in your configure.php files.

I checked and the images are all there. I just changed the configure.php file in includes/

 

The site still displays no images and all the links are broken. Strange.

 

However, I did gain access to my /admin section, which is good.

 

Please help. Thanks.

The images appear in admin, but they don't appear in the actual store and all the links are broken. They refer to the old domain. I changed both admin/configure.php and includes/configure.php to the new domain name. I'm not sure what's causing this.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks.

In the includes FOLDER (catalog and admin) where the normal configure.php files are there is a FOLDER named local

 

On some installs there may be a configure.php inside the local FOLDER (catalog and admin)

 

If there is, anything in it overrides anything in the normal configure.php files.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

I changed all instances of the old domain name to the new one, but the images still don't appear. All the links are broken, also. Could it be something else?

Got a URL so I can see WTF is going on?

If you don't want it pickerd up by search engines post it like:

 

mydomain

 

DOT

 

com

 

/catalog

This is the includes.configure.php. This reflects all the changes I made.

 

<?php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.net');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.net');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mysite.net');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mysite.net');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/danny/public_html/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'admin');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'password');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'danny_website');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

?>

 

Here is the admin/includes/configure.php. Again, this reflects changes to the new domain name.

 

<?php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.net');

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.net');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.net');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/danny/public_html/');

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/danny/public_html/admin/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/danny/public_html/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

 

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'admin');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'password');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'danny_website');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

?>

 

All links are still broken and no images appear in actual store. They only appear in admin interface. Thank you for looking into this.

If you don't want to post the URL you can PM it to me and it will remain confidential.

 

Otherwise - Stick a fork in me 'cuz I'm done...

:blush:

Double check to make sure when you ftp the configure files (assuming that's what you do) you are sending them to the new server/domain and not the old one.

I tried, but haven't gotten a PM yet.

 

There are some things you just can't check from looking at the config file.

 

I always say, "One click is worth 1,000 words".
