Godaddy proxy woos

dimi3

I have been planning to upgrade vanilla on my godaddy server. the site that it is attached to is a connected to a folder on another site/server, if you know how godaddy does it's routing.

Anyways when I have do a test upgrade everything goes well, but when I click on any link is shows me screen from the main server's home page, yet the path is correct. I have tried this twice with the same effect. what am I missing , did I skip a step or all of the aforementioned?

thanks is advance

Is GoDaddy acting as your domain registrar, your webhost, or both?

dimi3

both so look at my test site: http://puffle.com/forums/

If you click any link it sends you to a main wordpress page...

I followed the read.md update and it said successful.

sounds like your .htaccess may be incorrect or the way you added the forum to wordpress is incorrect (if you embedded).

for better answers you might

ALWAYS supply the version number of vanilla you are using when asking a question.

why? because

post your config.php minus the password information

ok sorry I was not clear... I have 2.0.1.18 and wanted to upgrade to 2.1

dimi3

I did not embed it

Seems weird that it says 2.0.18.8 after a successful update... could it be because the previous install of vanilla was produced by the godaddy console?

the config.php will not reflect the correct version of your installation if you update it.

version is as I said found either of two ways.

non-rewritten urls work.

a non-rewritten url click here it works: discussion3onyourforum

youforumdomain.xxx/forums/index.php?p=/discussion/3/sdfsdfsdfsd

you need to fix your .htaccess (to make rewrites work ) meanwhile you can change

$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;

to
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = FALSE;

you have 2.1 loaded - so you may want to change the references in your config.php for 2.0.18.8
to 2.1 just for your sanity. - it won;t affect much else

let us know if that worked, if not

post your .htaccess file

dimi3

gave it a try and and those flips worked and there was no need so far to update the .htaccess file

Thanks @Peregrine! I will update the real server after we test some plugins and the forum is quiet.

and there was no need so far to update the .htaccess file

or else you are not allowed to re-write because a rewrite module may be missing in php.

Oh OK thanks!
