Who's re-diring my home page?

[Maury Markowitz]

I'm in the process of setting up a new PrestaShop that will eventually take over for a page that already exists as a static site. But when I try to go to the private URL for the temporary site;

 

http://biz144.inmotionhosting.com/~almace5/

 

You'll see what happens. This doesn't appear to be something the host is doing, so I suspect that it's inside Presta? This does NOT happen if you try to get to the admin page.

 

Any hints?

when i tried to open website you mentioned - something redirected me to:

Exactly, the static page. But who is doing this? It's not the hosting provider.

 

I suspect that PrestaShop itself is doing this, because I originally set it up with that URL.

 

But where does this happen in the system? I can't seem to find a setting for it.

Try deleting your htaccess and see what happens. Are you using any third party module?

[vekia]

what you've got in directory almace5 ?

maybe some other engine like joomla, wordpress etc?

It is most likely PrestaShop doing this.

 

A few things you can take a look at:

• Delete / rename the .htaccess file in your PrestaShop directory to prevent redirecting.
  • Do note, this will also break friendly URLs, you might have to re-generate those from the SEO menu.
• Change the __PS_BASE_URI__ in /config/settings.inc.php to your subdirectory.

 

Kind regards,
