I developed a site for a client before a domain name was chosen. As a result, the URLs for the site pages look like:
http://host.mynost.net/~tempname/index.php?id=8
A domain name has now been purchased but if I click on any Wayfinder links it still uses the old path as above instead of, say:
http://domainname.com/index.php?id=8
I assume this is configured in the config.inc.php file, but I am unsure of what to change.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
You need to change $modx_base_url= '/' in /core/config/config.inc.php and if that is not enough - manually clean /core/cache/ folder.
Four years later, I've dealt with the same thing for a few months, and was incredibly frustrated.
An updated answer to this issue would be navigating to Settings (icon) > Context, then choosing Key > web (right click) > Update Context > Context Settings.
Change http_host (ex. localhost) and site_url (ex. http://localhost/).
Now, from the top menu Manage > Clear Cache as well as Manage > Clear Cache > Refresh URIs.
It was like finding a pot of gold.
I have a web on some super-old Modx version which I needed to temporarily set up for viewing, and I ran into this issue.
The way I changed the base URL is in the database:
table: modx_context_setting
key: site_url
This outlines how to move modx to a new location ~ which is essentially what you have done.

genereally you can get away with updating the config.inc.php & clearing the cache, but it's a good idea to go through the system setting table in the db looking for old paths, some packages do store path info in there.

I just got a typo3 website and need to transfer to an other domain.
Is it enough to copy all the folders (except typo3temp?) to the new place?
First I just changed baseurl in ts but it didn't do anything..
Should I do anything with the database when it still on the same server?
In case your question is about "cloning" a complete TYPO3-system an rsync/copy of the whole folder (yes including typo3temp) is the best idea, as this works on all versions, everything else (like excluding typo3temp) depends a whole lot on your TYPO3 expertise to resolve. The database needs to be copied as well. If you need to change db-name or db-credentials on the new system you need to change them in
typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php
As soon as you have done this Install Tool and Backend should work: At first try the Install Tool:
https://my.new.domain/typo3/install/
If that doesn't work your problem is with the webserver configuration or dns.
If that works (and the reports there show no errors), try the Backend:
https://my.new.domain/typo3/
In case your question is about which changes are necessary to your TYPO3-installation if domain changes and the web server itself is configured correctly, then there are probably two things you need to change, in order to make the frontend work (although both cases might be omitted, depending on your configuration):
sys_template record, if any of those use absRefPrefix or baseurl. If you have access to the MySQL-Database a
SELECT pid FROM sys_template WHERE config LIKE "%baseurl%" OR "%absRefPrefix";
might help finding the template, however these template configuration might also be stored in files (typically in fileadmin/templates/**)
sys_domain records, a MySQL
SELECT pid FROM sys_domain;
might uncover where those are stored
However these changes are only necessary to enable the frontend to work.
Add a domain record in the backend. And while you don't need the content of the typo3temp folder, make sure the folder actually exists.
When you go to the new domain name in your browser, what happens?
Do you get redirected to the old domain? If so, maybe there is an .htaccess redirect happening.
Do you get to the new domain, but if you click on a link end up on the old one?
Do you get an error? If so, what is the error?
Does something else happen?
How do I stop my Github webpage from redirecting to an expired CNAME URL? I know it takes time, but my Github page has not stopped redirecting even after 1.5 days! I am asking to find out if there's any step I missed (all I did was delete the CNAME file). If there's no step I'm missing, how long does it usually take to stop redirecting? I really need my page to be available soon since it is recruiting season. Please help!
You can clear the custom domain field. Let it remain empty. Then click the save button. Then clear cache of your browser or open in another browser / incognito mode. You will see the difference.
You could achieve this by following 2 steps,
Delete the CNAME file from git folder (git rm CNAME), and have your git updated.
From your domain provider, remove any DNS settings (Custom CNAME) that you have for the specified domain.
These are the steps, I followed to get it working correctly.
You should clear your browser cache. Because your browser has saved memory to redirect to the cname site every time you open the github page link.
Another solution is that you can open the github page link with another browser.
I am new to coding and everytime I ask a question I feel like stupid because I mostly am unfamiliar with most known things in this "industry" so I will sum up the whole situation fastly.
I learned how to code html css and js, I learned how to use VS 2012 asp.net mvc 4 and finally I made a webside for a student club I am into. Hosting is provided by our school and they only gave me ftp user name and password, I dont know which hosting firm is it or what is going on and so on, I got Filezilla to delete and unpublish the old webside, and I didnt know a proper way to publish asp.net websides through filezilla so I used VS 2012 publish tool.
I choosed FTP as publish method because I had ftp user name... I choosed relase as configuration and thats it ( I didnt open options here ) finally I could push on publish...
I faced 2 main problems so I couldnt publish
Problems I faced were;
1) While I was trying to publish I got an error like
" Validation (HTML5): Element 'a' must not be nested within element 'a button' "
I was trying to make a nav with sub items on it, It worked while I was trying it on local host I saw similar problems spoken out here on VS 2010 I tried to make exstensions to VS didnt work out
Anyway I deleted that part from the project and I tried publishing again.
2)It worked out perfect it seemed like no problem occoured. But when I try to open the webside it was saying I had no permisson to view.
I hope I didnt write any off topic staff here just try to tell you my problems so maybe someone can get help like I did from prior topics.
" Validation (HTML5): Element 'a' must not be nested within element 'a
button' "
You cannot have one anchor tag inside another anchor tag. If you have it that will cause you the problem.
Check out this thread to find out valid elements which can be nested inside an Anchor tag.
I had no permisson to view.
You need to give proper read/write permissions for the ApplicationPool Identity on the folder structure you have for your website. Or else IIS Apppool will not be able to get the files and execute them.
Give permissions to AppPool Identity for a particular folder/file. That resource will guide you one how to give you permissions to Application Pool Identity.
Alternatively you can give permissions from FileZilla itself. Simply right click the application root folder and select permissions. Then you can specify permissions from client side itself. But in most of the production cases, we have to add app pool user to the folder/file permissions list manually. But definitely give a try with FileZilla.
(To make this simpler - I've re-posted the first part of this question as a separate question, which has now been answered:)
Umbraco - Incorrect alternative link to document
Here's the full, original question:
On our website, we have the following structure:
sitename
-Global
-English
-UK
-English
for the Global > English page, the links to the page are showing as:
Link to document
/global/en/
Alternative Links
http://english
so the 'Link to document' is correct, but the alternative link isn't. On the UK > English page, I just get the correct 'Link to document'
On our development version, I've just turned on the useDomainPrefixes = true option in the umbracoSettings.config of of the site, and I've added a hostname for the top level 'sitename' node. Now I get the following as page links for the Global > English page:
Link to document
http://english/
Alternative Links
http://hostname/http://english/
http://english
I get the correct links for the UK > English page, showing the correct hostname in the URL like this:
Link to document
http://hostname/global/en/
I've tried re-publishing the entire root node (sitename), however I get an unusual timeout error. I've increased the timeout for the app pool, and for the session and the umbraco timeout in the web.config, however this is a different error probably related to the proxy server contacting the web server.
Is republishing the entire site the only fix? I've tried only publishing the sitename > Global node, which completes successfully, but doesn't fix the issue.
This is sometimes caused by setting the domains for the content nodes incorrectly. If you've right clicked and selected "Manage Hostnames" then you can get issues like this.
Remove all hostnames and see if everything works with UseDomainPrefixes=true.
I would reinstall from scratch and rebuild the site if the worst happens and you really cannot fix.
Each time I make a change to an Umbraco template and press Save, I get the confirmation popup saying:
Template saved
Template saved without any errors!
However, when I return to that template (click on another template and then back again), the changes have been lost.
I've ensured that the user account running my IIS application pool has Full Control over the \Views folder containing the .cshtml files (i.e. the Umbraco templates).
Strangely this just started happening, after it had been letting me make template changes with no problems. I can manually edit the .cshtml files on disk, but this seems ridiculous.
Any ideas?
A couple of things:
1) Have you checked that the following Windows accounts have full permissions for all folders "IUSR", "IIS_IUSRS", "NETWORK SERVICE" ?
2) Probably not but I have had problems in the past with caching. Have you disabled (set from True to False) caching properties in /config/umbracoSettings.config ? This should always be done during development.
OK, I'll provide an answer for others' future reference (although the reasons are unclear to me). It appears the change I was making to my Template must've been deemed invalid by Umbraco - when I strip the template text down to just a single, empty div and save it, the change is persisted successfully.
The confusing thing is that Umbraco provides no feedback as to why it's not saving - in fact it tells you that it HAS saved successfully.
Bizarre and confusing.
Just been editing my templates and got this problem. Fixed it by doing the following:
sign out of umbraco
clear your browsing data
sign back into umbraco
always be sure to copy and paste your code somewhere to keep it safe, and it can be easily pasted back in. Seems like a bug to me... but it saved after I did that.
(Using Umbraco 7)
