[solved] URL still has IP address in it, plus one other question

[susiegb]

Nearly there - you'll all be glad to hear! Just a couple of final things to sort out.

I've got the site live - http://www.heywoodconsulting.com.au/index.php

But if I just put in http://www.heywoodconsulting.com.au/ - nothing comes up. I'm sure this is something obvious that I need to do, but any ideas? Is it something I need to do in config.php? There is a blank index.html file at the same level ...

The other thing is - if you click on any of the links in the site the URL changes to the IP address plus username. Could this be because I've only just moved the nameservers to the correct server, and it's only working for the entry page - or something else?

Thanks ...

Remove the index.html file and it will fix your blank page problem. Each web server has an order for which it searches for default page and it uses the first one it comes to. It looks like index.html is before index.php on your server.

Edit your config.php file and update the domain locates for your installation. The config file is where CMS get the location to create the links.

Thanks so much Jeff - that worked! someone told me I had to have an 'index.html' file in that directory for some reason (when it was in a test site) and so I guess I thought it still had to be there!

Anyway - thanks heaps!

cheers
