Hello,

Something similar is happening to me.

Yesterday I update my DNS site to other hosting with joomla 3.3 and all is ok, my new site is updated but I would like to see thing in my old site.

I though it would be simple "old hosting/old site folder" or "old hosting/old site folder/administrator" but not.

As rshaung, I am having a 404 error. The site is looking styles, etc... in a http://www.site that doesn't exist now.

How can I fix it?

Thank you and best regards.

Could be an issue with Joomla's SEF settings, try disabling SEF and see if it removes the 404 error. If it does then see if editing the .htaccess file with the suggested changes in the file fixes it. Also check that you have not copied over a php.ini file from your old server, the php.ini settings may be conflicting with the new server.

Hello,

I solved it! :D
In my joomla folder I edited configuration.php. I just had to edit

Code: Select all

var $live_site = 'http://www.site';
to

Code: Select all

var $live_site = '';
Thank you and best regards
