CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello,

I've read some of the other forum posts on this topic, but am still completely lost. Here's my issue:

I'm trying to set up a public search page for a client's web site so that visitors to the site can search for organization members. Here's the url:

http://www.shorelinechamber.com/index.php?option=com_civicrm&view=Profiles&layout=search&Itemid=50

When I hit search, I get the following:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
We can't load the requested web page. This page requires cookies to be enabled in your browser settings. Please check this setting and enable cookies (if they are not enabled). Then try again. If this error persists, contact the site adminstrator for assistance.

Error type: Could not find a valid key.

HOWEVER, when I search from exactly the same page, NOT using the domain, it works fine. Here's that URL:

http://camel.arvixe.com/~sharonmk/index.php?option=com_civicrm&view=Profiles&layout=search&Itemid=50

I am a neophyte when it comes to PHP and mySQL so my questions may seem a bit stupid. Please bear with me, and be as thorough and specific in your answers as possible (ie. if I need to edit a table, please be VERY precise). 

Specs:

CiviCRM 3.1.3
Joomla 1.5.15
MySQL 5.0.90-community
PHP 5.2.12


I should also mention, I think it was working earlier, then I modified the resource URLs from the default (below):

http://camel.arvixe.com/~sharonmk/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/
http://camel.arvixe.com/~sharonmk/administrator/media/civicrm/persist/contribute/

to:

http://www.shorelinechamber.com/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/
http://www.shorelinechamber.com/administrator/media/civicrm/persist/contribute/

But when I saw that that broke things (Search threw the "Could not find valid value for gid" error) I set it back.

I also notice when I click Search from the first url provided (http://www.shorelinechamber.com/index.php?option=com_civicrm&view=Profiles&layout=search&Itemid=50), the address bar shows the non-domain url (http://camel.arvixe.com/~sharonmk/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile&) which appears to have truncated a bunch of important stuff off the end.


Please help! 

Thanks,
Chris

basically due to code limitations, civicrm can only respond to one hostname for any install (yes we know, this is a bit sucky)
