How do I access old site on old hosting? - magento

I just recently pointed the domain to the new website but the owner would like to access his old website for his data.
The old website uses Magento while the new site uses Wordpress. The hosting for both websites are different.
Can I access the old website through the IP address of the old hosting?
The old hosting suggested changing my hosts file, but it is not acceptable as the client would want to open both sites at the same time on the same browser

The website is also access from the temporary URL as well. So You need to do following things.
Get temporary URL from Cpanel.
Setup temporary URL for old website (magento) in core_config_data table.
Remove cache and try to access website with temporary URL in browser.

How to remove the default page on one.com?

I have a one.com account and I uploaded my website to my webspace but my website isn't showing up, instead I see the default one.com welcome page saying "XY.com is hosted by one.com"
I've been digging around the admin dashboard and one.com docs but I can't find any solution.
Have you tried setting up an FTP connecting (or SSH connection) to your domain to remove the webpage they deployed by hand and then upload your own website

Point URL to different IP, A record

Example
Let's say we have a domain www.example.com.
This domain points to Heroku and we have functional website.
example.herokuapp.com
www.example.com
When we load the website
www.example.com
our website works and succesfully loading App on Heroku. Let's say it is running a Django framework (Python Environment)
There is another website that has different IP and is built in Ruby Rails for example and is running on different host provider.
If we load the website www.example.com, we are on the homepage, we can easily browse different pages like about, photos, videos etc.
Is there a possibility if I type
www.example.com/store/
that it would load that ruby rails website?
Let's remove possibilty moving the app from different provider to heroku or any other provider that www.example.com is on (or precisly were example.com points to in DNS).
Is it possible to map it somehow or point it in DNS to make it work like that?
Short answer: no.
Longer answer, you could use a 301 redirect from /store/ to the other site, or a subdomain, like store.example.com. For more information, read up on DNS A records, as you suspected! Good luck!

Facebook app and magento multiple stores

I sat up facebook connect extension on my magento store. After filling api key, api secret in magento and config site url in facebook apps, the extension worked perfectly. However, if I switch to another store (with another domain), it won't work anymore. Is there a way to have magento connect to facebook without matching site url?
Here is the extension I got from: http://inchoo.net/ecommerce/magento/facebook-connect-magento-extension/
Please follow this, and use extension it provided. http://inchoo.net/ecommerce/magento/facebook-connect-magento-extension/
It worked for my multistore.

Magento Password Reset Link

We run a multi-store/view magento site. Let's say our site is called www.domain.com (running the "retail" store) and another url trade.domain.com running the "trade" store
When a customer requests a password reset from trade.domain.com, they get a password reset link like this: http://trade.domain.com/customer/account/resetpassword/?id=12&token=84fb6f65548995191e526b815982bf23
Clicking this link re-directs to login page with the error Your password reset link has expired..
However, if you replace the "trade" from the domain with "www" like this: http://www.domain.com/customer/account/resetpassword/?id=12&token=84fb6f65548995191e526b815982bf23
The password reset appears to be working correctly.
Any idea why this is happening? Have I configured the magento incorrectly? Is this a known bug?
Customers are shared either per website, either across all websites, so at least, a customer account is usable on all of the store views that a website contains. Consequently, it is normal that the password reset link works for your store views.
In fact, if you would like to separate the customer accounts between your store views, you would have to create separate websites that would not share customers.
Is that subdomain password protected? That could be a problem or if subdomain is set up with a password protected extension, they won't be able to access example.com/customer/account/changeforgotten/ without already being logged in. So you'll have to allow them access to that url first otherwise it'll keep redirecting. I had the same problem.
Check the cookie domain for the website trade.domain.com. In Magento 1 it's in System->Configuration->Web->Session Cookie Management. (Making sure that you change the scope in the top left to the Website you want to update it for.
I have a store that has multiple websites, each with their own view and does not share accounts across websites, and had the same problem. Changing the cookie path fixed it for me.

joomla website without access to central server - is it possible?

I want to develop a website in an existing domain name, say http://www.example.com/~username/
I have access only to my domain.
Is there any way I can create a joomla website?
In other words, do I have to ask people in the main server to install joomla?
download joomla from here and upload it your your ftp. Then go your your website address which will take you through the installation process. If you do not have access to your server, then you will have to ask whoever does.
