Looking for documentation how to set up test store..

[blr044]

Have done a google search for documenntation that would explain the procedure how to do a test store. Even looked in contributions for this.

 

My live store is in the root section. I have the test store like this -> http://brs-giftshop.com/teststore/index.php. I already changed both configure .php files by inserting the test store directory. Then when in test store, most of it fine. Missing some images like for header, which I can fix with no problem. But when at home page, regardless what link I hover over, it displays url address for live store.

 

So if anyone knows of a such doc, I would apprecaite link for it.

 

Thanks.

If you really changed your both configure.php files to reflect the new path, then the next thing to check is your .htaccess file.

 

Do you have any SEO url's installed? Is the path set in the htaccess correct?

I did add the test store directory.

# Ultimate SEO URLs BEGIN
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /teststore/

RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://brs-giftshop.com');
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://brs-giftshop.com');
 define('ENABLE_SSL', true);
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'brs-giftshop.com/teststore/');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'brs-giftshop.com/teststore/');
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/teststore/');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/teststore/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/teststore/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/teststore/');

 define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', '/teststore/images/');
 define('DIR_WS_IMAGE', 'teststore/image/');
 define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . '/teststore/icons/');

Put the install folder of a vanilla store into teststore, run the installation and then replace the database with your own. Will be working.

 

Then you can compare the 2 configure.php files to see what mistakes you dif]d

I did as instructed as in post # 5. Then copied the DB for which I backuped before doing the insatll. The live store is working fine. So for the test store I uplaoded the DB, for which was created before doing anything. My live store is doing fine. Went into admin to restore the original DB. But when opening the yest store, I am getting an error. Which is below:

1054 - Unknown column 'hostname' in 'field list'

 

insert into whos_online (customer_id, full_name, session_id, ip_address, hostname, time_entry, time_last_click, last_page_url, http_referer, user_agent) values ('0', 'Guest', 'a5ef3c3208adb665efb674e3a229bbe0', '24.144.22.136', 'dhcp22-136.cable.conwaycorp.net', '1265225780', '1265225780', '/colortestsite/', '', 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0)')

Not to fimilar in reading some of these error messages. But this look like it has something to with Whos Online Mod. But if I ran the restore DB, so it does not make sense why this error message.

Problem was because hostname field was missing. Corrected the sql in phpMyadmin. error no longer present.
