 Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2017 5:54 pm Post subject: Why is my site redirecting? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Recently forked up my mysql db, got it mostly sorted.
Now I'm having an issue with a particular site getting redirected when there's nothing in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d to make this happen. I don't do any redirects with any other conf files. If it matters, the site that's doing this is a Wordpress site. Where else do I look to stop a redirect that should not be happening? The redirect is from a mainsite.org to a subdomain.mainsite.org.

IIRC Wordpress will do its own redirects, so maybe something there?
Also, how does apache handling incoming requests? I've seen setups where if the incoming url was not defined in a vhost, the default site would load. So, default == www.example.com. But if you don't have a vhost definition for bar.example.com, www.example.com is loaded.
Without more info. those are the two scenarios which come to mind.

Certainly. WP saves its address in database and uses full paths in all links. This even includes protocol prefix, so you can't really enable https later.
When I had to change domain, I eventually resolved to running sed against database dump and website files. Don't ask, I had a good reason to try being creative there 
Rumour says there is some plugin for changing domain in wordpress. Perhaps export/import would do the trick in a sane way. |

I only dealt with it superficially, but I worked with some who relied on it heavily. They really didn't want to resort to sed :)
