Hi,

I'm running Drupal 4.6.5 and I recently bought a domain name (http://www.spyd.info) and then I changed my base url to http://www.spyd.info and now my site looks all crappy (no images, users can't login, we can't register new users or request new passwords)

I did let it on this config for now, to let you guys have an idea... the current theme is goofy

it did the exact same thing when I tried to do it with http://sys6x.sytes.net... and then I did put it back to http://vn.myftp.org:225 and then http://24.203.104.184:225 and both are working as base URL...

any suggestions? I asked 3 times on #drupal-support and nobody seems to have an idea...

I just want to use my domain name.

Thanks

1. http://24.203.104.184:225 isn't working very well as base_url, when I checked a few seconds ago.

2. http://www.spyd.info is a frameset with as source the ip-adres. Now you've changed the $base_url, it doesn't match.

3. You use a non standard port; also include that in the $base_url

if you mean that there is no pictures or the interface look bad, its the problem I am pointing to, with the unability to login, since I changed this base_url

my current base url is www.spyd.info, which is a domain forward

and the IP base URL (which is my box at home) is working #1 if it's the base url...

so, from what I understand, you'd suggest me to put the IP:port as base url?

I see you've reverted to IP:port as $base_url and have a theme again.

My guess is that www.spyd.info loads a site from IP:port into a frame; for Drupal the URL is IP:port not www.spyd.info. The best you can do is get a 'real' domain that translates from domainname to ip-address.

One thing you might try: rename index.php and .htaccess to something temporarily, then try to load the correct page in the browser. The page will fail, and clear the server cache. Then re-adjust the file names and try again. This has worked for me in the past.

I think your links may fail because your URLs fail, but you can manually enter correct URL to load desirable pages.

Please also remember this forum tries to be inclusive to as many people using Drupal as possible, and to use appropriate language that will not offend others.

when I moved it, it showed a listing of the directory, is that what I am supposed to get?

and okay for the ethics, I thought about it when I re-read it and saw you changed the word...

Hi sys6x! Exactly we have the same problem. Did you solved the problem?
