Migrated - now the Home page banner is broken

Post by pschmehl » Mon Aug 03, 2015 2:11 am

I migrated to a new server and everything is working fine except one thing - the banner is broken on the Home page. It works on every other page except the Home page.

The Home page is Published, Featured and Public. It's linked to the Home menu item, and the id matches the id of the article.

System information: Joomla 3.4.3, PHP 5.6.11, MySQL 5.6.24,Apache 2.4.12, FreeBSD 10.2

EDIT: I turned on DEBUG in Joomla, but I didn't get any errors. There's no errors in the apache error log either.

One odd thing. When I clear the cache, the home page displays as if it can't find the css files. If I click on another link, that works fine. Then, when I go back to the home page, it's working correctly except for the missing banner.

We just moved, so DNS may not have caught up for your network. The url is http://www.vvfh.org/ and the IP is 66.220.7.57.

EDIT: In the apache access logs I'm seeing references to the hostname of the server rather than http://www.vvfh.org. I don't see anything pointing to that in the configuration file. I'm sure that's the problem, but I haven't figured out the cause yet.

I don't see it as broken - it's the same across the board. The only problem that I see is that the banner is taking more space than it should, so it might be a good idea to reduce the size of banner image to 90% of its size and that should fix the problem (that I see).

In any case, try another browser or another computer altogether.

Thanks. Clearing the browser cache solved the problem. Sheesh.

Mark your very first post as "Solved" (green icon") so we do not read through a thread to read in the end it has been solved?
thanks
