[Tfug] Lost control panel on Drupal after move from testing to live

[keith smith]

I'm still dealing with this issue, which cache table do you truncate?  There is one table names "cache"  and :

cache_block
cache_browscap
cache_content
cache_filter
cache_form
cache_menu
cache_mollom
cache_page
cache_update
cache_views
cache_views_data
  
Thank you for your help!

            Hi,

              

              I'm stuck with a Drupal problem.  We built a Drupal site
              using a sub-domain drupal.xxxxx.tld.  Then when we were
              ready to make it live, basically all I did was change
              ServerName  from drupal.xxxxx.tld  to  www.xxxxxxx.tld

              

              We are able to access the site and it displays the content
              as expected.  The problem is when I try to log in to the
              admin control panel at http://www.xxxxx.tld/admin I am
              taken to https://drupal.xxxxx.tld which does not exist.
              (after completing the form and clicking submit)  This
              results in "The webpage cannot be found".

              

              I have removed the virtual host from the ssl.conf file in
              an attempt to get down to the basics so I can figure out
              what is going wrong.

              

              There was a line in the setting.php file : $cookie_domain
              = 'drupal.xxxxx.tld';  I modified it to read
              $cookie_domain = 'www.xxxxx.tld';

              

              I'm feeling like there is a setting in drupal that I need
              to modify.  Could that be so?

              

              Any and all feedback is much appreciated.

              

              Thanks!

    You need to update the links in the drupal database. I have a script
    that I use to clone once instance into another, most often a
    production instance to a test instance on a different box. The
    script is below. You can modify it to fit your needs. Basically it
    dumps the source database through sed to update links and then loads
    the data into a new database. It then truncates the cache table in
    the destination database and copies over the directory structure.
    You may not need all of that but it is there for completeness. You
    would for sure need to update the <bla-bla-bla> tags in the
    script.
