migration problem

[lchancy]

Hi, I am trying to help a friend move his oscommerce-driven website to a new server that has php 4.3.2 and apache 2.0.46.

 

The test site brings up the index.php page without a problem, but all the links create a cookie that errors out.

 

The currently working site uses the syntax example /index.php/cPath/40_41?

but the new one gives an error (The requested URL /index.php/cPath/40_41 was not found on this server).

 

"/index.php?cPath=40_41&" works fine, but I'm not

sure how to a) change the formatting or b) make it compatible with the current slash format.

 

Thanks,

Larry

have no idea what you are doing, if you move a site from one server to another, then you will have to change the paths respectively, the rest should be no problem. other than setting up mysql.

I've changed the directory paths already, it's the cookie that is giving the error. For some reason it is interpreting it as a subdirectory because it uses /cPath/ rather than ?cPath=. I've not been able to find where that is assigned.

 

The currently working URL is at http://www.dolphinplumbingsupply.com

The test site is at http://207.200.30.135

 

this method works on both: /index.php?cPath=40&osCsid=xxx

this method works only on the first: /index.php/cPath/40?osCsid=xxx

 

I'd happily switch to using the first method if I knew how. Is there a config setting that defines whether it uses /cPath/ or ?cPath= ?

Yes I have the same problem.

However I did not upgrade.

I had a new install of MS2.2 all was fine until I installed a AutoLogon mod.

Now all hell has broken out.

 

What is strange is not only can I not browse because it keeps using -

/index.php/cPath/21 instead of

/index.php?cPath=21

But at the bottom of the screen it says

Error!

Unable to determine the page link!

 

So I was smart enough to have a full backup of my entire oscommerce directorys and restored back to a previous state the WAS working.

 

And you wont believe it I STILL have the same problem.

Please can anyone help me.

I did not backup the mySql can the problem be in there

 

my URL to check it www.oz-pcrepair.com.au

[lchancy]

I toggled the Safe URL Search Engine setting and that fixed my problem too.

I wonder why it doesn't work with this newer version, guess thats why it is still under development.

 

Thanks for your help,

Larry

ms2 is not the problem, it is most likely a setting in the configure.php and tied in with the server document root

[treborr]

I have same problem with path in the url.

Can anybody help?

[Guest]

if any of you would post your configure.php files here and also a list of what you installed last, we may be able to help.

[Guest]

Here if the CATALOG version of Config.php

 

I have the contribution off now, but would love to turn it on.

I was going to use a contribution called SEF but it said I needed mod_rewrite access on my server for the .htaccess file. I do not so cant use.

 

So my google listings are like page 9.

 

PLEASSSSEEEE HELP ME !!!!!!!

try it with a period in front of the www for the cookie, ie '.www.domain.com'

 

if your domain is setup with two pointers, one an alias, as i do all my customers, their main domain is http://domain.com and the alias is http://www.domain.com

 

this way people can get to the page with either setting. i keep it as '.domain.com' and have not had any problems.

 

it could also deal with shared ssl if u have that.
