Hello all,
After finally being happy with my site design and function, as setup at mydomain/testarea I have migrated it to the root folder. I've run the installation and renewed a couple of the xml feeds and although the site looks fine, my searches aren't returning any results.
I'm sure I must be missing something quite obvious here, but could do with a little guidance if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks,
Dan
Hi David,
I amended all references to /testarea I could find, including in config.php, although line 5 of .htaccess is 'RewriteEngine on' - I don't have a command line for Rewritebase.
I've created a new database and reinstalled which causes search results to now be returned, however I am getting a white 'Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.' screen when I click on product/more information links, merchant and categories.
Hi,
"Not Found" when clicking on the A-Z or product pages indicates that you have search engine friendly URLs enabled with $config_useRewrite = TRUE in config.php but have not yet created the corresponding .htaccess file which needs to be made from a copy of htaccess.txt in the distribution. For a top level installation this file doesn't require any changes - line 6 can be left as the default;
RewriteBase /The easiest way to create the file is normally using your FTP program. In the remote window, right-click on htaccess.txt and use the Rename function to change to .htaccess - that should be all it is...
Cheers,
David.

Hello Dan,
Assuming that /setup.php shows all tests as "PASS", the considerations for moving a site up one level to the root folder would be;
Line 6 of config.php:
$config_baseHREF = "/";And if using clean URLs, line 5 of .htaccess:
RewriteBase /If that all looks good, can you confirm whether the Merchant A-Z index is working correctly (browse to /merchant/ ) but then clicking a merchant name gives no results; or are you only getting no results if entering a keyword search?
Cheers,
David.
