configuration of localhost install

[kaju]

Hi,

 

I just install osCommerce for development on my local machine from an installation I downloaded off the live server. The strange behaviour that I am getting is when I try to access the application with a local IP (10.10.10.3) I get automatically redirected to the live version!?

 

 

I poped open the configuration.php file found in the 'includes' directory on the root of the application and found the full URL of the domain written on these lines:

 

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

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.mysite.com');

 

Assuming that was causing the problem, I made this change:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://10.10.10.3');

 

This causes the web application to just hang.

 

Any suggestions?

try type localhost instead?

Hi,

 

That shoudn't make a difference unless the application has sort of dependency on localhost - which I doubt.

 

I have the web application bound to 10.10.10.3 initially; I just changed it just in case, but still the same problem.

it is most likely your configure.php files point to the live site, rather than the local host, ie put in http://localhost/foldername instead of http://mysite.com
