Hi,

I’m installing EE2 on Media Temple, and I need to set:

URL to the directory where the above index page is located

At the moment it’s: as I wanna develop the site before redirecting the domain to the Media Temple servers.

Can I leave it like that and then change it to use the full url of the domain?

Thanks

Hi, Maxie. Sure you can. I do that all the time. You just want to make sure you don’t hard code any urls like http://mydomain.com.gridserver.com/index.php/templategroup/template and use instead:

{path="templategroup/template"}

So when you switch out the location of your site, the templates won’t need to be modified. Does that help?

Yep, but what about the installation panel?

——-
URL to the directory where the above index page is located
Typically this will be the root of your site (http://www.yourdomain.com/)
Do not include the index page in the URL

URL to your Control Panel access file
You are currently using this file to run this installer.

maxi,

When you are switching change link to cp in your system/expressionengine/config/config.php file
Also change URLs in your General Configuration and any upload destinations you created

Great, thanks 😊

Glad to see that helped. Please post again as needed.
