Hello all,

I just moved a site from a sub directory to the main directory at my provider, and changed the base_url from "demo.xxx.com" to "www.xxx.com". In most case this seems to have worked fine, but I'm having trouble with Ubercart still wanting to redirect to the old "demo.xxx.com" and I've noticed that when I go to "admin/settings/site-information" it still has the old "demo.xxx.com" as the uneditable prefix for the front page url. It's like it hasn't completely updated. Does anyone know why this might be? I've emptied the cache a couple of times. Is there anything I need to run to get the new base url completely propogated?

Thanks,
Steve W.

clear all cache tables?

did you alter settings.php in any way?
did you alter .htaccess in any way?

I cleared the caches through the admin tool and by truncating the cache table in phpAdmin.
I changed public_html/sites/default/settings.php to reflect the new "live" url. It was changed from 'http://demo.xxx.com' to 'http://www.xxx.com'
I briefly tried uncommenting "RewriteBase /" (no effect) and "RewriteBase /drupal" (broken link).

TIA

My update to settings.php was hitting a permissions block.

Changing the permissions os settings.php to 777 worked for me.
