filepath is messed up now that site is live

Hello all, hopefully someone can help.

I’ve been recoding my formerly static site into a modx cms/blog. Everything has been going fine on my dev url (bigtypo.com/notbadart), but when I decided to go live and point notbadart.com to bigtypo.com/notbadart, now all my links are trying to access files at notbadart.com/notbadart. It’s clear to me that I’ve done something stupid, but I don’t know how to fix it. Any help?


Thanks much.
Dave

Update:

In the head of the site, I commented out the ++site_url reference and replaced it with my domain, like so:



This fixed a lot of the problems, but not all, and since the things it fixed were just symptoms of a larger problem, I have reverted it back to the modx language .

Clearly I have the site url set incorrectly, but I don’t have a clue how to change it. Can anyone help?

Update:

I attempted an upgrade install, to hopefully reset the url settings. No luck. Everything is still the same.

Hi driensche

If you GOogle ’Move ModX’ you might find a few similar posts on the forum.
I usually have to update the Config Files as mentioned here and sometimes
the databse needs updating too (see section in that URL titled Update your Database.

Hope it works.
Lets us know

I was in the middle of a longish reply to this and went to do a preview and poof it all disappeared (dropped connection at my end I believe)

Anyway - I just went through this, successfully, only hiccup being getting TinyMCE working - the thread is here: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,64687.0.html
It was suggested that I could have done a re-install to fix, it sounds like that did not work for you.

Here is what I did
Do you have an active .htaccess file - if so it needs to edited (I turned off FURLs and deactivated my .htaccess - then pointed my new domain name to the site - then edited and reactivated .htaccess and FURLs)

There are several settings in the /core/config/config.inc.php file look for the ones which in your case will start with /notbadart and not the long ones
for example $modx_assets_url= ’/notbadart/assets/’; needs to changed to $modx_assets_url= ’/assets/’;

Clear the cache - it can be done manually by deleting the cache directory and its contents located in the core directory - it will recreate it when a page is accessed.

I believe that is all I did - you already have the base href in your template

Good Luck
