> The ~ is missing. If I add it in there it works fine, but it's not defaulting to it.

Look in administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php (I think that's it) for the BASE_URL setting and see if it has the tilde (~) character.

Could it have something to do with the database? Maybe old files in there?

I've spent the last several hours working to try and figure this out and still haven't gotten any traction. :-[

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much Hershel!

You can try to run these URLs to fix it:

Rebuild menus:
civicrm/menu/rebuild?reset=1&directoryCleanup=3

Reset domain settings:
civicrm/admin/setting/updateConfigBackend&reset=1

But if this is a fresh install, I would venture to say this is a bug.

Thanks for providing those Hershel. Unfortunately they didn't work.

I've isolated the issue (hopefully). When I did the menu rebuild and went to this url: civicrm/admin&reset=1

Everything there works just fine and all the links on that page work, it's just the dashboard menus that for whatever reason are redirecting to my old site.

I've attached the screenshot that shows this in firebug.

If you reset the domain settings and the URLs are correct, I don't see why those menus should be wrong. But I think there is a small gremlin in your files somewhere....

Yeah, that's why I was wondering if there was something in the database that maybe didn't get dropped or something along those lines, because it is pointing to the directory that the test site was on.

But, if the base url is good and everything else works on the front and back end, I just don't know why the menus wouldn't, especially because I did a fresh instal.

I thought you erased your settings files and used a fresh, empty DB for a new install for testing....

It's pointed to the old database now. I thought I was supposed to point it back there.

I actually never tried it it in the new database. I skipped that after the install.

After doing a quick search in my database, I was able to find that incorrect path in the civicrm_preferences table under the navigaion.

It looks like this: <!-- en_US --><li class="menumain crm-link-home"><a href="/nhpha/administrator/?option=com_civicrm&amp;task=civicrm/dashboard&amp;reset=1" title="Home">Home</a></li></li><li class="menumain

Notice the ~ missing. I'm going to try a quick find and replace to see if that works.

The find and replace fixed it. Thanks for all the help Hershel, I really appreciate it.
