froot Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 after migrating a site from localhost (MAMP) to live server, all the links are broken. I can only access the home-page (e.g. www.example.com), anything after a slash won't work (e.g. www.example.com/en/somepage), including /admin. It works perfectly on the local machine but not on the live server. What I did was to move the content from my local machine via ftp to the live server without previously installing a blank PW. Then I created a database, imported the database from my local machine and amended the database credentials (db-name, username, password) and also the httphosts-array. I had this issue before with another project, I think I fixed it by re-installing a blank PW-installation and only then replace the database with the one from my local machine. Is that the only way?

horst Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Has your root .htaccess file made it through the FTP program into the online host? Please double check if it is in place there. Some FTP programs have filters that hide and exclude dot files from transfers per default. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
