Change URL for MSM site
How Do I?
I also noticed when I log in to the site I’m trying to change and update the URL to the root directory in the General settings to the new URL, I am still able to access the site at the old URL. Does it make any sense that changing that would have no effect on anything?
I didn’t try to manually hack anything. Was just curious if EE would “sense” another site and deny database access.
Nope, ExpressionEngine doesn’t have any measures for that since again, you can only run Sites that it allowed you to create. The PHP errors indicate to me fairly clearly that it’s a credentials / DB config issue. As for why it’s only impacting this new Site’s endpoint would take some inspection of your config.php and database.php files, as well as eliminating any potential environmental issues (file level access across the domains, for instance).
Gotcha.
I’m trying to determine with the host if the new domain is being blocked from accessing the primary domain. I don’t know why it would since the other domains can access it with no issue.
If I don’t get anywhere with them, I’ll sign up for a support plan and submit a ticket.
Thank you for all of your help!
Sounds good, let me know how it turns out!
Figured it out. Unbeknownst to me, the host was requiring a database user password update. Not sure why it only effected the new site since all other sites were able to communicate with the database.
Once I updated the password, everything worked fine.
Yeah that’s rather strange, but glad you got it sorted!
