Joomla! Discussion Forums

Hi. I've just made my first Joomla site and migrated it from my test server to the live server. I'm now getting a rather strange problem, which I think could also be a security issue - Links in my navigation and links to images etc are showing the full document root to the file!

For example, whereas before a link would have been 'http://www.myurl.com/index.php/news', it's now showing 'http://www.myurl.com/websites/blah/blah/blah/public_html/index.php/news'...

Can anyone help?

That could be a configuration file that's not been fully updated to the new server info?

Thanks for the reply.

I couldn't figure it out, so I ended up deleting all the files off the server and trying JoomlaPack (http://www.joomlapack.net/) to backup my site and then automatically set it up again on the live server. It worked perfectly and ironed out a few other issues I was having - I would highly recommend it.

However, it didn't solve the base url problem. So, I turned off SEO friendly links and mod_rewrite and this has worked, although now I've got ugly long urls like '/index.php?option=com_user&view=register'.

It must be something to do with a setting on the server (it's a shared platform so I can't change anything), or the .htaccess file?
