redirects issue

[macklord]

hey all ..i have a question i am trying to redirect my addon domain but keeps redirecting to my main..:(

i went into the main panel to redirect it but i goes to microsft webpage..ugh ..any ideas?

[Taresa]

Post the add on domain so we can see? Also, where do you want it to go?

[macklord]

www.mackpcusa.com is my addon domain i want it that to be like mackpcusa.com then they can go to this http://mackpcusa.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=1&main_page=index

but when i go to mackpcusa.com it goes to this

www.dragon-lord.com my main domain

[Taresa]

You may have already tried this, but it couldn't hurt to go through it again:

Go to your control panel
Click Addon Domains
Select mackpcusa from the pull-down menu under DOMAIN REDIRECTION
Enter the subdirectory of your main URL that you'd like it to point to

Click Save.

Somehow my domain redirection needed to be set up again today too.

[macklord]

The page isn't redirecting properly i get this now

it also shows this in the url

http://mackpcusa.com/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/mackpcusa/

[Taresa]

What did you put in the field for it to redirect to? It should be something like

www.dragon-lord.com/mackpcusa.com

[Taresa]

When you're looking at your addon domains screen, does it look like this:

mackpcusa.com (mackpcusa)

And delete any redirection for mackpcusa.com :o

I guess that's why they make those red faced icons...

[macklord]

i put mackpcusa.com heh

but when i put this www.dragon-lord.com/mackpcusa.com

i get this http://mackpcusa.com/home/dragonlo/public_html/mackpcusa/www.dragon-lord.com/mackpcusa.com

ugh

[macklord]

When you're looking at your addon domains screen, does it look like this:

mackpcusa.com (mackpcusa)

And delete any redirection for mackpcusa.com :o

I guess that's why they make those red faced icons...

yup mackpcusa.com (mackpcusa) [redirect]

[Taresa]

Can you remove the redirection on it?

[macklord]

yup i sure can i can remove it clean

[Taresa]

hm ok. This would be so much easier with a screen shot of what your addon domains screen looks like! Here's mine, and it works:

If yours looks like that and doesn't work, maybe it's time to put in a support request :rolleyes:

[macklord]

yup looks exactly what my control panel looks like..hrmm

ok here some info that might help my root in my ftp directory is like this

public_html/mackpcusa/ <-- after this is my index.php to load up the my site

www.dragon-lord.com is my main domain

addon is www.mackpcusa.com so in my redirect in mackpcusa.com

what exactly my url thread should be in the setup redirection box?

ive been trying so many ways i might have to give them a call ..

thanks for helping out ..very much appreciated!!

[macklord]

i think i got it duhhhh...

my redirect is supposed to be http://dragon-lord.com/mackpcusa/

:)

but i now have a problem with the admin page ..i cannot login admin when i enter my admin name and pass it just refresh the page and wont login..hrmm

[Taresa]

I'm still confused about your domain. A redirect will keep the URL in the address bar showing your primary domain. Notice how my setup doesn't have anything that I can click on the remove redirection? Nothing's redirected. I just used the first couple fields to point domains to subdirectories.

When I go to http://www.mackpcusa.com, the URL field changes to dragon-lord. Not all that professional :D Tho I'm not knockin the dragon! Dragon's are just all right with me. Dragons are just all right -- oh yeah.

About the login... there's definitely something wrong there. I tried to register (that is a l o n g form :P) but it did the same thing to me--just refreshed.

Does it resend your password when you click that? I wonder if it's somehow not reading/receiving the user/pass fields in the db.

[macklord]

nop it wont let me even let me retreive my password either..it just refreshes

dragons are cool :) thats my gaming guild site :)

[Taresa]

Yah, I check it out :) I'm the little Mac appearing on your board. Reprezent!

What is this ZenCart stuff? I don't remember seeing it in Fantastico. Can you confirm the connection to the database?

[macklord]

zebcart is a php program for shopping site it is in my fantastico bluehost control panel..its in the e-commerce section

let me check the Database and see ..might do a repair and see if that works

Ok i check the database and everything seems fine i went into the database where zencart is in in admin data base and its recorded my admin name

i did a repair didnt seem no errors there ..Also i reset my cookies and cache in my browser also .hrmm

[Taresa]

It seems you're not the first to have such troubles:

I get to be an honorary dragonlord for all this, right? ;)

[Taresa]

Also:

http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_-_Administration#Login_issues

That may be your best bet

[macklord]

ugh ok i guess i picked the wrong e- commerce proggy :(

Wow thanks for finding that issue it seems that redirects screws up the admin part in the config settingd..i can either troubleshoot it or pick a different proggy heh might be less headache ..oh and yes you definatly deserve honorable dragonlord fer sure

[macklord]

Also:

http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_-_Administration#Login_issues

That may be your best bet

ok im looking into the configure.php file and it seems it is correct heres what i have :

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// Main webserver: eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mackpcusa.com');
// Secure webserver: eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mackpcusa.com'); // eg, https://localhost
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://mackpcusa.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://mackpcusa.com');

I just started using Joomla and Mambo, and am reasonably satisfied with both. There are tomes upon tomes of support information on them out in the ether, and they seem to be very popular. Popularity has its pros and cons, but until I can write my own stuff, I'll be using what more people have success with.

There are a few eCommerce components/modules for Joomla and Mambo out there that you can try out as well.

Maybe take a poll and ask what the typical BH'er uses for eCommerce? You may want to indicate whether you need something that can keep track of inventory, etc.

[Taresa]

Hm, I don't think it's your config.php. Did you get into phpMyAdmin?

[macklord]

yeh i am looking into phpmy admin now

i run that session save path sql

SELECT configuration_value FROM configuration WHERE configuration_key = 'SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY';

and i get this error ..

SQL query: Documentation

SELECT configuration_value
FROM configuration
WHERE configuration_key = 'SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY'
LIMIT 0 , 30

MySQL said: Documentation
#1146 - Table 'dragonlo_zc1.configuration' doesn't exist

dragonlo_zc1.configuration' <-- it DOES exist grr..

i think i need to make a poll and find out wha is the most stable and reliable e-commerce proggy cause this one bites the dust i must say..:(

[Taresa]

I vote for the shortest distance between here and taking orders :) Good luck!

[macklord]

yeh thanks for the links and ALL your help ..ill see what i can do if not find a better e-commerce proggy :)

What is the difference between 301 redirects and 302 redirects and which one should be preferred?
