(SOLVED) Trouble Viewing Test Site

[Dee P.]

I am working on following upgrading from 1.6.1.4 to the latest version. Have followed the Upgrade Tips for creating a test site pinned to the beginning of this forum. I can log into the BO at "testsite.websitename/admin". Have changed Preferences > SEO & URLs to "testsite.websitename".

 

Haven't yet tried upgrading yet. Thought I'd see what it looked like first. Only problem is the live site is what comes up when I click the "My Shop" link. Trying to go directly to "testsite.websitename" doesn't work either. How do I view and check the site before I start working on it?

 

Thanks for your help!!

Can you provide a link to the front office?

[Dee P.]

Sorry it took so long. Main site is: https://angelelegancevintage.com

Progress not perfection. Now, when I click the "My Shop" button in the BO of the test site, I get a page from the test site with a 404 error. Snippet of the page is attached. Checking the links take me to pages from the live site. Closer, but not quite there.

Front office looks good. However the link from within backoffice "my shop" does not provide the protocol. This is a bug. But under normal circumstances, browsers just ad http and its ok. Can you provide the link your "my shop" link is pointing to?

You can just hoover over the text and see the link in the browsers status bar.

[Dee P.]

test site is:  ghostdup.angelelegancevintage.com.

[Scully]

You have a redirection problem on your testsite.

According to my tests the site sends 302 status to the URL //

This can't work.

 

Post your settings from SEO and URL with a screenshot.

[Dee P.]

Here it is attached. For some reason, it has reverted back to showing the main site when I click the "my shop" link. The picture sent yesterday is what I get now.

This look good. Your 302 redirect must come from another source - maybe you have set something in your hosting panel.

Have you alreaday rewritten the .htaccess in the root of your shop?

Have you checked, there is nothing more in this file than it should?

[Dee P.]

I've just rewrote the .htaccess. Can't see anything out of place in the code. Can you see anything that shouldn't be there?

 

Thanks again!!!

[Scully]

The .htaccess looks good and the site also loads now without problems. Clear your browser cache if you still have issues and try again.

[Dee P.]

Cleared the cache and rebooted. Still getting the same problem. What address are you using?

[Scully]

ghostdup.angelelegancevintage.com - the one you posted. Have you also cleared your cookies?

[Dee P.]

Cleared cookies, cache and all several times. Scully, this might sound crazy, but after changing it from secure to non-secure site, adding and removing a back slash at the Shop Domain and Secure Shop Domain names (several times), even adding different combinations in the Base URI then removing them, it seems to be working. Well, except for the CMS files. But, I'll take it!

 

Thank you so much for your help!

[Scully]

Sounds quite strange indeed. But note that CMS pages are not searched in anyway.
