Server Move - Back Office OK - Front Office gone

[Scotty501]

OK - i must have done a PS move lots of times, but what am I missing here??!?

 

I wanted to move the site over to a new server. I did this by backing up the cpanel and restoring on the new server.

 

When I first logged in the back office was all screwed up, because it was looking for the old domain I guess. I soon fixed that with changing the domain - but I do see a warning.....

 

Your are currently connected with the following domain name: 109.73.162.201

This one is different from the main shop domain name set in "Preferences > SEO & URLs": 109.73.162.201/~jahwaggy/

 

This is obviously a tempary domain. If I make the above match, it screws up the back office. When i try to "View my shop" it does not work. It goes to http://109.73.162.201/en/

 

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/~jahwaggy/');

If I change this to "/" the back office goes screwy again....

 

So clearly I am being rather silly and not seeing the obvious.

 

Any one shed some light on this?

Hi Scotty,

Our guide on this topic is currently undergoing some edits (right now, I believe the headings are backwards but we're fixing that ), but can you can find it here. Can you please ensure that you've followed all the steps there when it comes to moving your site?

Done all that Mike - problem still remains. As I say I have done this lots of times before - but I'm stumped here.

Just to add - this was a cpanel backup and restore - not an FTP. This site holds a ton of mp3 and images - so I did not fancy downloading them and then loading them back up!

Well the plot thickens,,,,

 

If I click View Product in the BO - it works such as this link

 

http://109.73.162.201/~jahwaggy/en/1556-scotch-bonnet-7-dread-inna-armagideon-daddy-freddy.html'>http://109.73.162.201/~jahwaggy/en/1556-scotch-bonnet-7-dread-inna-armagideon-daddy-freddy.html

 

But if I remove the URL down to http://109.73.162.201/~jahwaggy/en - I get the apache page.

 

Anyone able to put me out of my misery
