Issue with name URL after setting up domain

[oiuqowieuqwoieu]

Hey everyone,

Quick question for you all. I just purchased a domain name (www.velvetscent.com), where i set up the name servers and all that, so it would display my prestashop site located on a server, where i have rented space. It works fine, as it displays the content of the site well, however the problem resides in the fact that the URL no longer stays at [website], instead, it changes to the address of my server.

I fiddled with the settings under the Back Office >> Preferences >> SEO & URLs, as i thought it may have something to do with it... Primarily under the options for the URL Setup, however everytime i change the options to something i think will work, the domain no longer shows what i want it to show.

I changed the Shop Domain Name from my server URL to the purchased domain name to no avail. I also played with the Canonical Address box, but found that one setting displays my entire site in text as opposed to one with images.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks-

I think it may have solved itself-

Have you tried regenerating your htaccess ?

 

Back Office > Tools > Generators

Yea, I tried that, still no gold. I find that the following settings give me the 'best' appearance without throwing any errors, i dont know if it helps:

Automatically redirect to Canonical url : No
Friendly URL: Yes
Shop domain name for SSL
Shop domain name [website]
Homepage file index.php


But this just displays all the text, nothing else- Edited November 2, 2016 by oiuqowieuqwoieu (see edit history)

This doesn't seem to be a problem with Prestshop. You may need to contact your web host.

 

One way to test if this is a Prestashop error is to create a test.html file.

 

<p>Hello World!</p>

 

Try to load www.velvetscent.com/test.html

 

If that doesn't redirect we know it is Prestashop

 

If it does redirect, we know it is not Prestashop.

After some more research, I finally found the solution to my proble,

 

In the admin folder, the file called settings.inc.php has a whole bunch of values in it. I changed the first value from

 

 

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/somthing/something');

 

to

 

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/');

 

 

Then went back to the Back Office >> Preferences >> SEO & URLs and changed it from there

 

Everything seems to be working so far-

So I was toying around with the Back Office moments ago. After logging in, immediatley the appearance has changed; everything looks just a little off... Front office is looking fine.

Here is what it looks like after i made the above change(s):

http://ScrnSht.com/tonsnr

http://ScrnSht.com/dieflp

 

The problem now is with doing something with the modules section. Regardless of what i click on, it always shows me this;

 

http://ScrnSht.com/wpaxrd

 

How can i fix this so my modules section of the site become usable once again?

 

Thanks for all the help and support!!
