Hello,

I recently moved a .com site over to a .org site (just dragged the whole directory into a new directory on the server) And everything works fine except I cannot login to the control panel. It’s like it doesn’t even exist (when I go to the correct url I see the homepage). Also, the .org site is located at /home/username/www/website.org/ so it’s 1 directory down from the usual.

Hope this makes sense to someone - thanks for the help!

Hi, Garrett. Check the path.php file for the path to the /system directory.. Is it set to what you expect?

I thought that was the issue but I couldn’t figure it out before so then I second guessed myself. The path is set to its default, ‘./system_folder’ - since the website is in a folder in the root directory I tried ./website_folder/system_folder but it didn’t like that at all.

If you look at your config.php file, what is set for:

$conf['cp_url']

Have you tried to edit that path manually?

$conf['cp_url'] = "http://website.org/system/index.php";

I changed .com to .org whenever I made the transfer.

If you put the path.php file to be ./system, in theory it should work. Are you using any sort of .htaccess settings?

Try putting a copy of /system/utilities/admin.php in the root, and see if http://example.org/admin.php works for you..

I am using LG htaccess. On another note - I have never heard of utilities/admin.php AND it worked. Is this thing safe to use for default CP access?

I don’t normally use that particular module. Yes, admin.php can be renamed to whatever you like. NOTE: We don’t normally provide direct support for .htaccess, just to let you know.

Does that help?

Perfect. Thanks so much!

Glad to see Sue was able to help. Please post again as needed.
