TOPIC: Moving website problems

Moving website problems 14 Years, 7 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi,

I successfully had multisites working in my development environment.

I had the following configured:
Master site: domain.com/dev
Slave site 1: domain.com/dev/slave1
Slave site 2: domain.com/dev/slave2

They all shared the same files via symbolic links. I have since moved the websites into the root directory of my domain:

Master site: domain.com (Works Correctly)
Slave site 1: domain.com/slave1
Slave site 2: domain.com/slave2

I updated the config files with the new addresses for all three websites. The master site works correctly. However the slave sites are having trouble locating the shared files. Do i have to update the symbolic links to point to the new master address? If so, how would i go about doing this? Can it be achieved through the config files as well?

To be more specific when i go to domain.com/slave1/index.php i recieve php errors, Warning: require_once.... No such file or directory.

Thanks.

If you have moved your "master" website into another directory, you have to delete all the slave sites and rebuild them because the existings links can not be updated.

If you don't want to do such "delete", "rebuild" slave site, you can try to create a symbolic link from old master directory to the new one.

Another alternative that present a risk would be to try delete manually the symbolic links currently present in the slave site "deploed" directory and open / resave the slave site to let JMS rebuild the new symbolic link.
We can not guarantee that it will works.

We think that will be be perhaps better to create new "fresh" slave site that will use a copy of the current slave site definition with another deploy directory.
Once the slave is defined, you could re-use the current "configuration.php" to reuse the existing DB.

As you have understood, this is not easy and present some risks.

If you want that we do that with you, you can order our billable support on

Maybe that's a solution to my problem, I guess it could be could if there is a feature within JMS to rebuild the symlinks when there is a change of folder or URL with the same slave site.
