Mysql – Unable to put Joomla articles open at a right URL

joomlajoomla-articleMySQL

Problem: My articles have the right urls: for example, newsite.com/article. However, by clicking an article I get an empty article. I can see my sidebar.

I moved my Joomla installation to a different folder in my server.
I want to change my domain from OldSite.com to NewSite.com.

I am not sure whether I need to change the database or not too.

My recent configuration.php at NewSite.com which was moved from OldSite.com. 

<?php
class JConfig {
var $offline = '1';
var $editor = 'jce';
var $list_limit = '20';
var $helpurl = 'http://help.joomla.org';
var $debug = '0';
var $debug_lang = '0';
var $sef = '1';
var $sef_rewrite = '1';
var $sef_suffix = '0';
var $feed_limit = '10';
var $secret = '----------------';
var $gzip = '0';
var $error_reporting = '7';
var $xmlrpc_server = '0';
var $log_path = '/home/masi/public_html/NewSite/logs';        // I added this
var $tmp_path = '/home/masi/public_html/NewSite/tmp';         // I added this
var $live_site = 'http://www.NewSite.com/';                   // I added this
var $offset = '0';
var $caching = '0';
var $cachetime = '15';
var $cache_handler = 'file';
var $memcache_settings = array();
var $ftp_enable = '0';
var $ftp_host = '127.0.0.1';
var $ftp_port = '21';
var $ftp_user = 'admin';
var $ftp_pass = '------------';              // hidden now for security
var $ftp_root = '';
var $dbtype = 'mysql';
var $host = 'localhost';
var $user = 'masi_jml02';                   
var $db = 'masi_jml02';                      
var $dbprefix = '';
var $mailer = 'mail';
var $mailfrom = 'admin@masi.com';          
var $fromname = '';
var $sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
var $smtpauth = '1';
var $smtpuser = '';
var $smtppass = '';
var $smtphost = 'localhost';
var $MetaAuthor = '0';
var $MetaTitle = '1';
var $lifetime = '15';
var $session_handler = 'database';
var $password = '--------------';                   // hidden now for security
var $sitename = '--------------';                   // hidden now for security
var $MetaDesc = '';
var $MetaKeys = '';
var $offline_message = 'This site is down for maintenance. Please check back again soon.';
}
?>

I put comments to the above code to indicates rows which I changed after I moved the installation folder.

My index.php at public_html/NewSite/templates/Theme/

Best Answer

ok...

  • you moved the whole installation to a new directory? subdirectory?
  • what do you mean by 'not open correctly'? please provide error messages or a link!
  • you adjusted the configuration.php!? can you post it here (take passwords out)
  • it definitely works without doing anything in the database.
  • are you sure the changes in the configuration.php have taken effect. for example file was not writable or you edited it offline and forgot to upload it...
  • did you meddle with the index.php of your template? maybe the url is hard-coded somewhere?
  • is there another component/module/plugin which needs readjustement/reconfiguration?
