Dev Site

[Reece^B]

Hi

My host made a backup of my site (db/files) so I can have a test site.
However im having problems with it redirecting to my main site.

They say the issue is:

<script type="text/javascript"><!-- function vba_attach_win(threadid) { openWindow('http://www.pitbikeclub.co.uk/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=' + threadid, 480, 300); } --></script>

...which reverts you to the main site.

You will need to amend this across the site.

Is there a easy way to amend this?

Did you change your URL settings in the admincp to match the url for the new dev site?

[Reece^B]

No because I can't access any pages without a redirect to the main site. I did however edit the sites url in the db but it's not made a difference.

You can use tools.php & reset the URL, its located in your do_not_upload folder from the vb zip.

Did you verify that you dont have any rewrite rules via a htaccess file?

[Reece^B]

Yes I have a rewrite all non www. for the main site, I checked the .htaccess for the dev site and that has the same code. I removed but for some reason chrome downloads the webpages instead of displaying?

So tried that tools, and the friggin redirect keeps taking me off it!

Typically if your prompted to dl a page, then thats an apache issue w/ the add handler.

Edit the .htaccess in the dev folder & disable rewrites

Since that isn't default vbulletin code, did you try disabling the plugins via the config.php file?

Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

[Reece^B]

I haven't, as I think the problem is with apache. Even the test PHP page won't pharse.
How do I fix this? Im running Plesk, or is it a host only issue? (i've already removed the rewrites)

Many thanks for your help folks.

If a non-vbulletin page is having the problem, then the problem is a server issue.
