cloned shop

[Havouza]

Hi!

Sometimes you take out victory a little early

I have cloned our shop, meaning comied all files and dumped the sql into a new created db all on a new domain

I have changed the shop url in the table ps_shop_url, but when I go to the new domain it directly redirect me to the old shop:

What have I missed to change??

Any help apreciated

Delete the .htaccess file and cache

.htaccess is gone but which cache should I delete?

once you delete .htaccess you should re-create it. Have you done it?

I paste my steps (I toke it from PS forum and change it to use it in TB):

1. Copy all files via FTP
2. Duplicate database to other hoster
3. check the php settings at your new hoster!! (PS <= 1.6.1.3 is not yet PHP7 ready! so you wont see anything in these cases)
3. open Database and edit "tb_shop_url". Set the new path and domain for your new shop  (don't forget the last /)
4. edit config/settings.inc.php and set the new database access
5. delete the .htaccess file in your shops root folder
6. login to the admin backend and go to settings > seo & urls and save the path and domain properties to create a new .htaccess file (after creating the new .htaccess file you will be able to view/use the frontend of the shop, not earlier as it contains all necessary info it needs to translate the friendly urls of the shop frontend)

good luck!

well, it is a step forward. Try setting debug mode on to see what's the error about.

I had troubles before adding a trailing / to the url, in step 3. Double check it.

[Havouza]

well I will start over. I have rolled back the system because for some reason I also got a 500 on the old frontpage so now I will start over

I should be the same user the web server is running.

Have you deleted cache/class_index.php

This quite often causes me a problem when cloning if I forget to remove it.

Thanks! I have now sorted it out, I am not sure what is was but now both back and front works
