CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am currently changing hosts, and i opted just to install a fresh install on my new host (hostmonster).  I am changing from dreamhost. 

However, the issue lies really in how the development went.  Because I was developing along side an existing site, I developed my site at a test location from hostmonster http://<IP>/~<site>/default (NOTE:  /default is where my Joomla is installed to)

After changing to the live site, I can log into the administration of Joomla just fine, and I can get to the main site of civicrm. 

However, when I try to go anywhere else within civicrm, it is adding ~<site> into the address bar.

I have modified the Base URL to read:  http://<site>/default

But when I try to manage my events it links me to:  <site>/~<site>/default/...

If i remove ~<site> then it will work, but it is very annoying to have to do this on every page I visit. 

Am I missing something?  Is there another location to change other than "Cleanup Caches and Update Paths"

Any help would be much appreciated

I ran the following:

On the Main site:
<Site>/index.php?q=civicrm/menu/rebuild&reset=1

And on the administrator site:
<Site>/administrator/index.php?q=civicrm/menu/rebuild&reset=1

Both resulted in no change

I also tried running:
<Site>/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm/menu/rebuild?reset=1 - 404 error
and
<Site>/index.php?q=civicrm/menu/rebuild&reset=1 - No Change

When I attempt to run that, it directs me to the following site:

http://<Joomlasite>/~<sitename>/default/administrator/?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/dashboard&reset=1

[update] I forgot to add that it resolves to a 404 error.

In essence it is still populating that ~<sitename> part into the URL. 

I navigated to that site, after I was logged into the administrator site, is that not correct?

Thank you for your help so far, and I appreciate your spending some brief moments to try to assist me in this matter.

On the "Settings - Cleanup Caches and Update Paths" page, I modified both the Base Directory and the Base URL

I just ran the SQL you provided. 

I don't want to mess anything up, so should I then run the menu refresh item?

I logged into the administration site, and entered the following:

http://<your_joomla_home>/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/menu/rebuild&reset=1

it directed me to here:

http://<sitename>/~<sitename>/default/administrator/?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/dashboard&reset=1

the ~ part is still coming back

That Did it for me!

Thank you very much for assisting me with this issue.
