Godaddy proxy woos

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

    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

    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?

    <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
    
    // Conversations
    $Configuration['Conversations']['Version'] = '2.0.18.8';

    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

  • 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.

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