dapupard Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi, I am looking to clone one website to a new domain name. The old site ( A ) will remain intact and the new site ( B ) will start as a copy of A. So to do this I had my web host copy the public html, catalog, and database files from site A to the new hosting account for site B. So far so good. When I go to www.siteB.com I see an exact copy of site A. The problem at the moment is when I login to www.siteB.com\catalog\admin and click any of the links it points to that section but on the old site A. For example if I login to admin on site B and click on Configuration it points me to siteA.com/catalog/admin/configuration.php?selected_box=configuration.... When we did the copy it copied over all the existing database usernames and passwords. So this does actually log me in to site A's config page. However I want all these links to point to and allow me to edit site B. How can I do this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 A guide to the configure.php files Or how to move your site without breaking anything. Also be aware of the following. 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.
