[SOLVED] Moved website to a new folder for an upgrade...index.php now shows in all link paths

Hello All,

I've copied our site to a new folder for an upgrade from 3.0.3.1 to 3.0.3.8. We have SEO URLs turned on. I updated both config file paths from https://www.7s!our9.com/ to https://www.7s!our9.com/3038upgrade/. We updated the .htaccess file to show RewriteBase /3038upgrade/. We've refreshed the theme and SASS in the admin dashboard. The site connects to the new database and loads fine, except all of the links on the site have an index.php in them like this:

https://www.7s!our9.com/3038upgradeindex.php/category
https://www.7s!our9.com/3038upgradeindex.php/product

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I'm missing?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Try turning off SEO and see if you can get it running. Check your root config file and see if you're missing a / anywhere.

Possible wrong config files

And it would help to use a correct domain name, there is no such domain as '7s!our9.com' !

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.

If I turn off SEO I'm still getting /3038upgradeindex.php with a missing /. If I switch to the default template I still getting the same issue.
I'm not seeing a mistake in the root config, here's what I've got in the config:

<?php
// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.7s!our9.com/3038upgrade/');
// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.7s!our9.com/3038upgrade/');
// DIR
define('DIR_APPLICATION', '/home/pxxxxx7/public_html/3038upgrade/catalog/');
define('DIR_SYSTEM', '/home/pxxxxx7/public_html/3038upgrade/system/');
define('DIR_IMAGE', '/home/pxxxxx7/public_html/3038upgrade/image/');
define('DIR_STORAGE', '/home/pxxxxx7/OpenCartUpgrade/storage/');
define('DIR_LANGUAGE', DIR_APPLICATION . 'language/');
define('DIR_TEMPLATE', DIR_APPLICATION . 'view/theme/');
define('DIR_CONFIG', DIR_SYSTEM . 'config/');
define('DIR_CACHE', DIR_STORAGE . 'cache/');

define('DIR_LOGS', DIR_STORAGE . 'logs/');
define('DIR_MODIFICATION', DIR_STORAGE . 'modification/');
define('DIR_SESSION', DIR_STORAGE . 'session/');
define('DIR_UPLOAD', DIR_STORAGE . 'upload/');

Have I missed anything in there?

And htaccess?

Config is OK

Hi xxvirusxx,

Thanks for the reply.

Here's our htaccess file:

RewriteOptions inherit

# The next code line is currently commented out on purpose so it will be ignored.
# It is only for testing the code when you don't really want to close the site.
# It closes the site ONLY to you, but leaves it OPEN to everybody else.
# When commented out, the site is closed to everyone, including yourself.
# To enable the line, remove the # (pound sign) at the start of it.
# You MUST first change the digits 111 222 333 444 to match YOUR IP address.

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^111\.222\.333\.444$

# It is easy to modify the above line so it does the opposite:
# close the site to everybody else, but leave it OPEN to only you.
# Put an exclamation point ! in front of the ^ character, to make it: !^
# The remaining two code lines close the site. They say:
# If the request is NOT for /maintenance.php, send /maintenance.php instead.
# Allowing maintenance.php to be served as-is prevents an endless redirect loop.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance\.php$

# To allow another file, copy the line above to here and change the filename.
# This line says: no matter what file was requested, serve maintenance.php.
# This is a rewrite (not a redirect), so we use the local file path, no http://

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /maintenance.php [L]

# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.
# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

### Uncomment the commands by removing the # sign in front of it.

### If you get an "Internal Server Error 500" after enabling any of the following settings, restore the # as this means your host doesn't allow that.



# 1. If your cart only allows you to add one item at a time, it is possible register_globals is on. This may work to disable it:

# 2. If your cart has magic quotes enabled, This may work to disable it:

# php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off



# 3. Set max upload file size. Most hosts will limit this and not allow it to be overridden but you can try

# php_value upload_max_filesize 999M



# 4. set max post size. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields

# php_value post_max_size 999M



# 5. set max time script can take. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields

# php_value max_execution_time 200



# 6. set max time for input to be recieved. Uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields

# php_value max_input_time 200

One thing I've noticed...
In the Open Cart admin under Home>Stores the Store URL is https://www.7s!our9.com/3038upgrade with no / at the end. I'm not sure if that's connected to the problem or not.

According to a WHOIS query for '7s!our9.com' this domain doesn't even exist, hence you can get all sorts of strange errors.

If it is a newly created domain, wait for the propagation of the name server updates on the internet for a day or two.

If this is the wrong domain name, fix your config.php, admin/config.php, and .htaccess accordingly.

Hi JNeuhoff,

That's not our domain, I've just subbed in anonymous information.

That's because your admin/config.php has a wrong value for the HTTPS_CATALOG which should end with '/'.

Hi JNeuhoff,
I've corrected that, even though it doesn't seem to fix/break anything.

Try installing a clean OC in a different sub folder. When installed get the correct file paths from the root and admin config files. Adjust and use in your upgrade folder version. Connect to the original database. Also use the htaccess file from the clean install adjusted to reflect the upgrade folder location. Keep your existing config files and htaccess file just in case. If none of that works have an early night.

Hello,

Just to close this off.... after ensuring the config and htaccess files weren't causing this problem I switched to the default template, turned off SEO URLs and refreshed the Theme and SASS on the Dashboard page. At this point the links were now working properly, so I switched backed to our template, turned on SEO URLs and refreshed the Theme and SASS on the Dashboard page again and now the links seem to work with SEO URLs turned on.

Thanks for you help.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you got it sorted.
