I am trying to create a test environment for a Magento site. I downloaded all the files and the database and restored to XAMPP. I changed the two base urls in the core_config_data table to http://magento.local/magento/ and modified the Magento config file to connect to the local database. I also added magento.local in the hosts file. I'm using magento.local as I read Magento must have a . in the domain name. The site almost works except on the front end when on http://magento.local/magento/ and try and go to a different page it tries to access http://magento.local/pagename/ and gives a 404 error, i can access through http://magento.local/magento/index.php/pagename. I have also disabled Web Server Rewrites in the backend as I read that is supposed to fix this problem. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks

I am trying to transfer my website with jomsocial from one server to another.
www.iremember.gr
Previous server steps:
Backup all the files from public_html folder.
Backup the DB from php my admin.
New server steps:
Install joomla, entered the prefix in DB of the previous DB prefix.
Deleted all files from public html and extract the backup from the previous server.
Export the DB from the previous server, to the new one.
Changed the configuration.php file with the new user/dbname/password.
Now when i try to enter the new server at this IP address
93.174.121.23/~niremco/
and i login ok.
It loads the main page
but when i try to enter a profile i get a 404 Error.
Although when i try to see the profile
http://93.174.121.23/~niremco/index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid=109
i can see it.
But not from the correct link that i had in the previous server
http://93.174.121.23/~niremco/team-iremember/profile
Any idea why this happens?
You probably haven't copied the .htaccess file from the old website, you will need to copy it from the old Joomla website to the new one. This typically happens because the .htaccess file is considered to be a hidden file and as such does not get copied over automatically.
First of all, installing a clean Joomla first is totally unnecessary. As for why you are getting the 404 error pages, this is because you probably have URL rewrite enabled in global configuration, while there is not a proper .htaccess file sitting in your new server.
With proper I mean either no .htaccess at all, or one that was setup for your old hosting. I rather tend to think the second.
To test that your moved correctly your site, disable url rewrite from global configuration.
If you would want to test with url rewrites enabled, then I would suggest to edit the hosts file in your computer and point your domain to the ip address of the new server.

I have live magento site yyy.com configured using nginx in linux AWS AMI its using AWS RDS for database.
For the development purpose i have created the development server from the current live server image and for the development purpose
i have created a sub-domain dev.yyy.com and for the development also i created a new RDS server and the dumped the live server databases content.
I have changed both the secure to insecure URL from yyy.com to dev.yyy.com in the core-config-data and upadted the dev database details in the local.xml
config file also and clear the cache and session folder.
The issue is if I load the dev.yyy.com means its taking me to yyy.com.
I put new index.php containing "Hi this test"vinstead of magento index.php in the dev.yyy.com root directory means i can see Hi this test in the browser when i load dev.yyy.com.
Is there any configuration in nginx like return or redirect to resolve this issue.
and if anyone tell me this nginx related problem or magento files related problem. It will be very helpful for me to check further.
I working on this 2 days.
I would check all the values in core_config_data to see if yyy.com is still in there. You may have missed a config or there could be a customization redirecting you.
Also check your .htaccess for any redirect rules that shouldn't be there.
Also make sure you've cleared the contents of var/cache/ and var/full_page_cache/.
I have just followed the following steps for a Magento migration.
Copied all fiels from our staging server to the production server
Dumped the database and copied it to the production server
Imported database dump into new database
Updated app/etc/local.xml
Updated the database entries "web/secure/base_ur" and "web/unsecure/base_url" to the new url
Cleared var/cache
Now each page gives a 404 error, including the homepage and admin. Also, it does not seem to be a htaccess problem because urls with index.php in the path also don't work.
I have done the same procedure as listed about on my a different machine with the same files, and then it works fine. So it seems server specific.
I have done extensive searching on the problem, but nothing seems to help so far.
Any ideas are greatly appriciated!
--edit--
I somewhat fixed it.
In index.php I changed:
Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);
To
Mage::run('english');
This seems to be necessary as english is the name of our default store. However, I think it would be better if Magento figures this out by itself. Also, how come this worked out of the box when migrating to another server?
I migrated my website from one server to another. I am able to visit the home page on main website(eyaas.com), but other then that no links are working, not even the admin
Strangely, the indian version website(eyaas.com/in) is running fine with all links working properly.
When i migrated, I was seeing a 500 error so the hosting provider asked me to delete the .htaccess file which was auto-created simultaneously. Then the site worked but now this problem has arised.
What should i do. When replace the .htaccess file with the earlier one, I get a 500 server error.
The .hatccess file is necessary for the rewrites. Speak with your hosts and make sure that it is configured properly for Magento.
I have a magento site running locally using WAMP and it works great. However I need to create a different site so I created a folder for this new site under htdocs.
In that folder I loaded the Magento files.
Created a new database for newsite with all rights in phpmyadmin.
Went to the localhost:8888/newsite and started Magento installation wizard.
In the configuration section of the wizard I entered all the info required: db name, user, password. For URL Base I used the default (http://localhost:8888/newsite). Selected allow charts and Allow apache rewrites. Finished installing magento.
Now magento is running on newsite. I can see the front and back-end of the site.
Here is the problem: When I create a category and/or subcategory, magento does create the menu link but when I click any category, the browser takes me to a 404 not found. Upon analyzing the URL that took me there i see that the URL is : http://localhost:8888/newsite/category.html BUT by adding "index.php" into the URL (http://localhost:8888/newsite/index.php/category.html , the page does work!
So this means magento IS creating the page for the category but the linking is somewhat wrong.
Now, I've been making sure that rewrite is enabled and after all, the other site I mentioned I have is working properly, so I assume rewrite is properly enabled.
So I need help finding:
Why is one site working and the other isn't?
How can I fix this issue?
Thank you!
Sounds like you haven't copied over the .htaccess file (in your Magento root folder). You need this file for the Apache rewrites to work.
