I seem to be hitting a brick wall here, I have just migrated my magento installation from my local environment to my test server here.
http://development.missbella.co.uk
However it keeps redirecitng to the old url at localhost.
I have updated the core_config_data table with the new address.
cleared the var cache folder multiple times
reindexed multiple times
cleared the cache multiple times
I even set the permissions on the var and cache folder to 777
None of this has seemed to have any affect and its driving me a bit crazy.
However I have found if I put the domain name and then a sub page that does work i.e.
http://development.missbella.co.uk/dresses.html
Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks!
Have you checked your local.xml?
if you have local.xml so please rename and hit the URL(your localhost or new installation url) after that undo the changes.
I had faced same issue and fixed by doing above steps. Hope it will work for you.
Also clear the browser cache too. thanks
Check two things:
1)Go to your local.xml file located in root/app/etc folder and check which db it points to. It will be like :
<dbname><![CDATA[magento]]></dbname>
Now you can just go to the database and run the following query :
select * from core_config_data where path = 'web/unsecure/base_url';
and
select * from core_config_data where path = 'web/secure/base_url';
Now check if this is your current url if yes then I don't think there is an issue with your database, just clear your cache and you are good to go.
You can do the following from the backend as well
1) Go to System->Configuaration->General->Web->Unsecure/Secure and check if points to your current url or not if it doesn't change it, clear cache , cookies of your browser and you are goot to go.

I have a problem,
I changed the url of my prestashop because I have a new url.
But now i have the Problem that i tipped in the wrong path, and if i want to log in as admin then the shop directs me everytime to the wrong path so I can't change anything...
Does anybody know in which folder of the FTP Server I can change it in the data?
I tired to delete the htaccess data but this didn't help me.
Or is it another option to go back to where I started, before i changed the Url?
I think that your problem occurred not from a .htaccess but from your database. Prestashop keeps domain URL in the DB and if you changed it you better to check table configuration fields PS_SHOP_DOMAIN, PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL and table shop_url. I think that the problem is over there.
When you want to migrate to another server, you have to
Update the _DB_... constants in config/settings.inc.php file
Since your database does not changed, this step is not necessary.
Update PS_SHOP_DOMAIN and PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL fields in configuration database table
Update the domain, domain_ssl and physical_uri fields in the shop_url database table
Now you can log in to the admin page. When you did it, your first step has to go to Preference -> SEO & URLs, then turn off and on again the Friendly URLs switch to update the .htaccess files.
These steps are works on Prestashop 1.6, but not tested on 1.7.
See the official blog post for additional details:

After I copied my magento installation on a new domain. The admin panel doesn't work. I checked the .htaccess, baseurls and tried a lot of other things, still the 404 error page.
The version of my installion is 1.9.
Please follow the following step.
delete cache folder from var
if you domain name changed then open your database and select core_config_data and set secure and insecure web url to your domain specific url
if you have still further problem for css and js and you have to make merge css and js flag to 0 which is also found in core_config_data
Thanks,
Sam
I hope sagar helped you to get rid of the problem.
to my opinion this issue happens due to improper setup of the core stores in magento.
what I did to resolve the issue to check the core_store tables. Check if store admin is active.
Make it active and your 404 problem will go away.
Thanks me later !!!
I have just moved a Magento install from one server to another, and this is a change of domain too. I have moved all files from one /httpdocs directory to another /httpdocs directory.
I have uploaded the new database and imported the data as well as updated the local.xml file to point to the new database.
But when the site loads I get a default looking Magento page, rather than the correctly skinned Magento store.
Is there some config I have missed?
Make changes in your DB :
In core_config_data table, the values you need to change are in the path column. Change the web/unsecure/base_url and web/secure/base_url to match the new domain name by altering the value column for both records.
After that clear all catch, may you forget to do this step.
The answer is here, look at step 4. http://www.atwix.com/magento/moving-magento-to-another-server/
Log in to admin panel and go to System->Configuration->GENERAL/Design
Open package and themes, then set your custom package & themes name here. After that clear all cache from System->Manage Cache.
Hope it will work!
I'm having a huge issue with accessing my dev site. I two magentos sites on different servers. One is the dev site, the other live. However I needed to copy the database from the live to the dev site.
Ever since i did this i've had problems with accessing the dev URL. As it keeps re-directing me to the live site. I've googled the issue and tried the following:
Accessed the 'core_config_date' and changed the unsecure/BASE_URL & secure/base_url and changed them back to the dev URL.
I then went to clear the cache on the dev site, which had already been cleared from when i was installing a plugin.
Set everything to 0 in 'core_cache_option'.
Cleared cache on my browser
But i'm still getting the issue of the site re-directing to the live URL.
I've noticed a few people had had the same problem, but the above solution doesn't seem to be working for me. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Right so managed to sort it. It was a permissions issue. I overlooked it as I didn't have a linux user setup for this site. However the folder user was set to 'root' as opposed to 'www-data'.
For anyone with this issue in the future, I strongly recommend checking permissions on the server/folder for caching.
Steps to fix the issue:
Change base URL in the 'core_config_data' table (can be found on line 5 or 6, give or take)
Check permissions on your siteroot/var folder. Delete everything from /var/session & /var/cache
Run 'chown websiteuser -R siteroot' and then 'chmod u+w -R siteroot' for permissions changes.
That should be enough to get it working.
Do the below steps in your development server :
1) Check the development server database hostname,username, password in your config.xml file in below path : app/etc/.
2) Open your live server database in any editor and find the live site url entirely.
and replace with your development server url with searched result.
above two steps will solve your issues.
here after it will now solve.
3) Check your .htaccess file in your root folder to check the any redirection rule.
Check your file permissions and set them properly so Magento doesn't end up creating a MagicCache in the system /tmp folder which is where your core configs are being cached, allowing for you to clear var/cache till the end of time and have the settings in the database never take.
All over here Can't change Magento base URL -> Stuck in cache
After I enter my username and password and click "Login" it sends me back to the Login page with NO error messages. The URL changes to include a session key and that's it. Everytime I click Login again, the session key is regenerated and I still can't log into the admin interface.
I just encountered this problem on one of my servers (not a localhost installation). Turns out the system account was over quota, so I presume Magento was unable to create the necessary temporary files. (I noticed this when trying to create a directory on the server over ssh.)
So... maybe check to make sure the account under which Magento is running isn't over quota on your server? At the very least, it might not be a Magento problem directly.
Clear the contents of the directory var/cache and try again.
If that doesn't help check the table core_config_data in the database for records with a path value of "web/secure/base_url", "web/unsecure/base_url" and "admin/url/custom". These should match the page you are trying to log into (but without "index.php/admin/" at the end)
Finally check your browser's cookie settings and that the server's PHP is able to set cookies.
I was having the same problem running Magento 1.5.1 on my production server. I would log in to the admin, the url would show the address for the dashboard (with the secure key), but the screen would still be the login screen. There was no error. This happened with FF, Safari, and Chrome.
I fixed it by manually setting two core_config_data values in the database. They are as follows:
web/cookie/cookie_path = /
web/cookie/cookie_domain = "mydomain.com"
clear out var/cache and try to log in. For me, it worked.
Version 1.7.0.2 I have been moving my magento store from on server to another one, and I had the same problem. Use phpamdin to edit your database on new server, search for web/cookie/cookie_domain in 'config path row', the value is probably your old domain name: yourdomain.com, change that to your new domain name OR to your new IP address (new server). If you attend to use your old domain on new server environment you will probably want to set your story ready before you switch your name servers. That was the case for me, after I added my new server IP to web/cookie/cookie_domain instead of domain I was finally able to log into my magento backend.
I had some problems when on a local server. It was on http://server/username/ and so didn't have dots in it. If we changed the settings to be the IP address of the server then it was fine.
There can be several things that cause this behavior. This is my checklist. One of them will eventually fix it.
Click the "forgot password link" and then the "back" link. This will remove any possibly misplaced params in the URL as well as make sure you're on the right server (some installations have separate admin servers)
Clear cookies or use an incognito window
Try another browser
Local installations: Try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost (and update the base URL in the core_config_data table)
Clear Magento cache, full_page_cache, and session directories in the magento/var/ directory (and repeat 1 and 2)
Truncate the core_session table
Verify your Magento has correct memory settings
Check Magento system.log and exception.log files and debug
Check PHP's error logs and debug
I've experienced this issue using Opera, while in other browsers it worked fine.
Also, make sure to set correct cookie options in:
System > Configuration > Web > Cookie Settings
Also, make sure that your system time / time zone on the server and php and magento match up.
