Author Topic: Domain change and URL Resource change not working for multi-home joomla (Read 3980 times)

When I installed civicrm in a joomla site the live_site_url was for example: mydomain.com. Later I learned that the host provider used myotherdomain.com as the base url. I have made changes within joomla to resolve multi-domain complaints that subsequently followed using this hack: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,71404.0.html.

I have made changes to civicrm global settings resource URL to: myotherdomain.com. Yet, when hovering over civicrm links within the admin section all of civicrm links points to the install URL: mydomain.com. I have checked settings but do not know where else to check to have civicrm admin links to reflect resource URL change. What else do I need to change? Should the joomla hack be place in civicrm settings also?

CiviCRM stores and reads "base URL" for the Joomla install in it's settings files. I think you'll make changes to the following to files:

In <joomla_install_dir>/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php:

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL' , 'http://mydomain.com/joomla/administrator/' );

In <joomla_install_dir>/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php (front-end settings file):

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL' , 'http://mydomain.com/joomla/' );

Thank you for your response making those changes worked with civicrm. Now I am trying to discern whether those changes resulted in an extra 'iframe' at the bottom to the frontpage of the website that was not there previously.

Wow: have problem....visit civicrm support pages ... search on key terms .... problem anwsered. Just the way its supposed to work.

I had the same issue as the original poster of this question; except that I am using drupal rather than joomla.

I fixed the CIVICRM_CF_BASEURL setting in the file /sites/default/civicrm.settings.php

but, under drupal, do I need tofix it elsewhere also?

No that should do it. Just verify the Resource URLs settings in Administer CiviCRM >> Global Settings to make sure they reflect your current configuration.

This is great... the updated domain is working nicely!
