CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I quite often manage to create odd issues, this is in case someone else manages to do the same!

Symptom:

When a new activity is created for a contact the "with contact" field is not populated - this leads on to errors when saving.

Circumstances:

Following migration from one server to another

I'd migrated a site and of course tested it before changing the nameservers at the registrars. I'd used the domain (http://mydomain.org) whilst the live site was using the www. subdomain

Later when things were changed over I was using both quite happily to access the site until the above error cropped up. I presume this is caused by confused sessions.

Solution

Changed the .htaccess in the domain root to redirect to the sub-domain - so when user types in http://mydomain.org it re-interprets the string as www.mydomain.org)

Ensured that all references to the domain url were set consistently to www.etc. References are in:

• Drupal settings.php
• civicrm.settings.php
• resource url's (civicrm admin)

Finally cleared drupal cache
