jerseyjoe Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 In addition to creating a few CCs, I also have a few hosting servers. I have noticed a weird thing for CC stores whose hosting accounts are setup before the DNS transfer to my server is set at the Registrar. Let's say my server is "NS1.myserver.com", the domain is "domain" which the server will render as "~domain." So when I set up the account, the URL while I install CC and build out the store (but before the DNS transfer is http://myserver.com/~domain Usually, for sites that are NOT a CC, after the DNS is changed at the registrar, the URL displayed is http://domain.com in other words, the server address drops out automatically. But for CCs that are built before a DNS trransfer, I enter the URL as: http://domain.com and when the active store's home page is displayed, the URL becomes http://myserver.com/~domain (those who understand this issue will know that the tilde (~) is a common display for a shared server until the DNS is transferred). And it remains that way though the session. That address also prints out on Faxed Orders and show up in order confirming emails. As you can imagine, the client is unhappy with that and the client's customers are confused as to who they are dealing with., I know how to prevent this (only build a CC after the DNS transfer) but how can I fix it for a site already built? I have two of them that need fixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robsta Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Is that information not stored in the global.inc.php config file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyjoe Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Is that information not stored in the global.inc.php config file?That makes sense but are you saying that the fix is as simple as editing that file? Of course, I could test it, but I'd prefer to know, before I try, if I am doing the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know until we can see what's in the file <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
