Problem with hosted domain after a server transfer

Post by kikilondon » Tue Aug 08, 2017 12:41 pm

Hello all, Thanks for your help on this:

I have transferred my Joomla site from one website to another, using a hosted domain in Godaddy. The index.php page loads perfectly when using the hosted domain, but anything else returns a 404.

The whole website works perfectly when I use the main host address and subdomain that the hosted domain points to.

To explain further, here is the hosted domain:
http://kikilovechild.com/

It points to this folder:
http://frivolousfood.co.uk/kikilovechild/

You'll notice that the links in the menu work perfectly on the second link, but not on the first link.

Example:
Hosted domain does not work: http://kikilovechild.com/index.php/about-two
Subdomain it points to does work: http://frivolousfood.co.uk/kikilovechil ... /about-two

Does anyone know how I can fix this so that the visitor can view the site with the hosted domain?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

Have you renamed htaccess.txt to .htaccess?
