It is also related to debugging between localhost or mysitedebugdomainname.com.
Q: Unable to view my site properly from my debug domain name: mysitedebugdomainname.com, only from localhost that it is displayed properly. Is there a way to make the transition automatic!
A: YES!
The 'problem' is related to the variable $mosConfig_live_site. When changing from localhost to mysitedomain.com we assume that your site is going live. Therefore, you want to update the $mosConfig_live_site variable in the configuration file.
If you need to perform other test with a temporary "almost" live site then you would have to change that variable every time.
Now, you could also modify your configuration file like this.
Change this line
Code:
$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://localhost/myvirtualdirectory';
to
Code:
$mosConfig_live_site = getLiveSite(); //'http://localhost/myvirtualdirectory';
At the bottom of the file and BEFORE the php closing bracket "?>", add the following function:
Code:
function getLiveSite(){
$s = empty($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) ? ''
: ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") ? "s"
: "";
$proto = explode('/', $_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]);
$protocol = strtolower($proto[0]).$s;
$port = ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] == "80") ? ""
: (":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"]);
$getVD = explode('/', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
if(count($getVD) <=2 ){
$virtualdir = '';
}
else{
$virtualdir = '/' . $getVD[1];
}
return $protocol."://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$port. $virtualdir;
}
Of course, PHP expert can modify this function to make it look even better.
-----------------
With Apache, if you have set you VirtualHost to "/virtualdirectory" in the httpd.conf file, it will also work.
