after moving site to subdirectory pages are broken

[frankmanl]

CMSMS 1.11.12

I want to upgrade a site to CMSMS 2.
I set it up, long ago, in the root directory.
Before upgrading I want to move the whole site to subdirectory /cmsms/
So I copied all files to this subdirectory.
Everything looked fine, untill ... I started removing the old files in the root folder: when removing (or rather renaming) the original plugins directory the site collapses: pages are not or only partially displayed.
So I tried to move (copy) the original site to another domain, set it up there. Then only the index page is displayed, all other pages give a 404 error. But when logging in on that copy in the other domain, I can edit the pages and see correct examples of them in the back end.

How can this be explained? What can I do about this?

I'm happy to provide more details when requested, but don't know where to begin.
For starters below there's the system information of the copy I made in subdirectory /cmsms/

check rewrite_path in .htaccess file

[frankmanl]

Hi Rolf, there is no rewrite_path in .htaccess.
I commented out all paths and URL references (root_url, ssl_url, root_path etc.).

I think Rolf means 'RewriteBase' in .htaccess. It's only used when you have pretty urls enabled. It would make the homepage (default page) available but all other pages not.

if the sub folder is named 'cmsms' it should read

Code: Select all

RewriteBase /cmsms

I commented out all paths and URL references (root_url, ssl_url, root_path etc.).

Those are in config.php not .htaccess

[frankmanl]

Thanks a lot, this solved it, at least in the other domain. But I can go on from there. The original domain should now be OK also.

But an additional question to this: I set RewriteBase /cmsms in the .htaccess of the subdirectory. Is there a need to set anything in the .htaccess of the root directory? I never could quite understand the way .htaccess works ...

Frank

@Rolf - I misread your reply: I looked in config.php in stead of .htaccess
