Hi Guys, I wanted to reach to everyone in the community to see if someone has come across this issue. We have a client that had a website built in PHP. We provided our client with a new website built on ProcessWire. Our client has their domain name registered with register.com and their old website was built by another developer who was hosting the website in a virtual server at gandi.net. The DNS settings were as follows: Domain name was pointed to the gandi.net in order to display the website files. The MX records were pointed to Google servers for company emails. The Name servers were as is which is the stock register.com name servers. We were not able to speak with the old developer to setup a time to update the files so we were asked by our client to move forward without contacting the old developer. How we setup the new website: In order to avoid down time of the email accounts and not having to setup new MX records on another host, we simply setup our clients new website on GoDaddy shared hosting and changed the A record in their register.com DNS settings to point to the new hosting account. Basically, an IP change. Everything else they had stayed the same, meaning we did not change the MX records and we did not change the name servers. Here is the issue: Some website visitors are seeing the new website, some are seeing the old website. We first thought it was due to browser caching or the propagation did not fully complete when they tried to visit the website. After telling our client to wait until the new DNS settings or try to clear their cache, we thought they were all good to go. Now our client is contacting us saying that the issue is still happening. So we contacted register.com and had them resubmit the new DNS settings again, basically the same IP change we did. Result: Some users are still seeing the old website on certain routers. We are also seeing the old website on certain routers we use and the new site on other routers. Can anyone provide some guidance? Has anyone seen this issue before? We even pinged the website and it shows the correct server, we also used whatsmydns.net to see what the site is coming up as across the world and we also see the correct server. Lastly, we sent the url to our partners in Germany and they see the new website and not the old one. This is honestly the oddest issue I have seen and unsure as to why this is going on? Here is our clients site: medstarlab.com

Summary: If I have a site sitting on a server called testing.com, then on the server change it to mycompany.com, do I have to modify any settings in ProcessWire? After building several processwire for clients, the one question that I haven't had is about moving a processwire site from an old (temporary) domain to a new domain. For instance, I typically setup development sites for clients and register a temporary domain (and lock with a password). For instance, thee client can go test.com and get all their content finalized, change wording, add news, swap out photos -- everything to make the site production read. Next, on my hosting account I can have testing.com renamed to theircompany.com - and change the nameservers. A simple question here. If I have a hosting company rename the account from testing.com to theircompany.com, change my nameservers whereas going to theircompany.com loads the production site, Is there anything I need to change in the processwire configuration or in the PW database? In the past, I've just manually copied the site, and fresh-installed PW, and imported the data. Seems like a lot of hassle. I have a second part question about updating the PW core, however, after consideration I'll post it as a new topic. -
I have a website on a shared server that I use to store a few sites. My active domain is at the top. The new website domain hasn't been activated yet, but the path would be something like: myactivedomain.com/newdomain.com/ and once the DNS is flipped, just newdomain.com/ As I am building and adding a load of PDFs, all the links default to /newdomain.com/site/assets/files/etc... This isn't migration, but a DNS activation. Once that is updated, I'm still going to have a bunch of /newdomain.com/ links in there to pages, pdfs, images, etc. Before I resign myself to grepping out page-by-page all the "/newdomain.com/" references I thought I would see if there's a way to update these automatically in processwire but I'm seeing stuff on migration... stuff in the rich editors about correcting links, but I don't see anything that covers this. Is there a way to do this automatically? Via module? I didn't see anything in the config file... but would be grateful to anyone who can shed some light... -
Long time listener, first time caller... I have been working with ProcessWire for some time now and it has been amazing, my go to CMS. Previously my workflow had a local development setup through MAMP using an address like http://localhost:8888/websites/example.com. I have recently changed this in preference of http://dev.example.com, that way I do not need to disable the .htaccess forward from non-www to www to develop locally. My .htaccess forward is setup like: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^dev\. [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC] RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] This works on all sites that are still using ProcessWire 2.5, however on sites using 2.8 and 3.0 I am getting a 403 Forbidden error. After reading through the forum posts related to 403 errors I have not been successful in finding a solution for my issue. Has anyone experienced this or can assist? Thank you very much in advance, the forum community has been so helpful I have never needed to post until now.

Hi guys I'm running PW on a VPS on Plesk for the first time and having some problems. The DNS hasn't yet kicked in so I have a funky IP address, port number and webspace name in the URL which aren't helping. I've obscured the real address here but you get the picture https://111.111.111.111:8443/sitepreview/http/mydomain.com/processwire/ I can load up the login page but the css isn't mapping correctly and looks like Is it the htaccess I need to edit by changing # RewriteBase / to RewriteBase /sitepreview/http/mydomain.com/ or something else? Currently above doesn't work. If I look at the source, the css is mapped as follows: <link type='text/css' href='/wire/modules/AdminTheme/AdminThemeDefault/styles/main-classic.css?v=12' rel='stylesheet' /> <link type='text/css' href='/wire/modules/Process/ProcessLogin/ProcessLogin.css?v=101' rel='stylesheet' /> <link type='text/css' href='/wire/templates-admin/styles/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css?v=12' rel='stylesheet' /> <script type='text/javascript' src='/wire/modules/Jquery/JqueryCore/JqueryCore.js?v=183'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='/wire/modules/Jquery/JqueryUI/JqueryUI.js?v=193'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='/wire/templates-admin/scripts/inputfields.js?v=12'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='/wire/modules/AdminTheme/AdminThemeDefault/scripts/main.js?v=12'></script>
