I changed my Drupal $base_url in settings.php to
http://www.example.com/subfolder
but root relative paths are still pointing to
http://www.example.com
and not to the correct "subfolder". Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I flushed cache, re-edited a couple links to make sure but they're still pointing to the root domain and not to the correct subfolder.
The Pathologic module provides input filtering to correct URLs that are no longer correct because of configuration changes. Here is an excerpt from its project page:
... an input filter which can correct paths in links and images in your Drupal content in situations which would otherwise cause them to “break;” for example, if the URL of the site changes, or the content was moved to a different server. Pathologic can also solve the problem of missing images and broken links in your site’s RSS feeds. See more example use cases on the documentation page.
Pathologic is designed to be a simple, set-it-and-forget-it utility. You don't need to enter any special “tags,” path prefixes, or other non-content noise into your content to trigger Pathologic to work; it finds paths it can manage in your content automatically.
Define what you mean by root-relative paths. If you are talking about the front paged linked to
http://www.example.com
you may edit $base_url in settings.php.
If you are talking about
Home
linking to
http://www.example.com
that has nothing to do with Drupal, though the Pathologic module mentioned by #sutch may help.

ok this is bit weird question:
here is my domain: hfarazm.com
and wordpress installation at: blog.hfarazm.com
I have lots of visitors and they have shared my blog and article links all over.
I want to organize my site for separate section for tutorials, for blog, for portfolio and for other things.
Right now everything is going to blog.hfarazm.com i want to move blog to root but want to keep links so that users dont see 404 page and i get a chance to manage my site from the root.
I know: changing url in settings of wordpress will do the job but is redirecting is good practice? what is the better solution to achieve this confusing state.
You can create an .htaccess rules so your visitors will be redirected to new location, even if they type the URL blog.hfarazm.com.
See detailed information here.
Note that many of these examples won't work unchanged in your particular server configuration, so it's important that you understand them, rather than merely cutting and pasting the examples into your configuration.
I'm having a weird redirection issue and can't figure out how to solve it. I installed my Wordpress in a directory (called /Cafe/ ) for my KatsCafe.org website and all the posts are being redirected just fine. But a huge number of my images are messed up. They won't redirect without the /Cafe/ in the URL, while none of my older URLs for images included a directory. My site is graphic/image heavy and many of them show up in Google Image searches so I am losing a lot of traffic over this.
I can't figure out how to redirect from two separate file paths to the current one.
My oldest file path was from when I installed Wordpress in the root directory with a previous host, so image from that installation would have the file path:
Http://katscafe.org/wp-content/uploads/year/month/name-of-file
to the current image file path, which would be:
Http://katscafe.org/Cafe/wp-content/uploads/year/month/name-of-file
I have another less important redirection I am having a few errors from as well, stemming from the short while I tried out a multisite option (silly me, I thought I would enjoy not having to handle updates, etc ... but I'm entirely too OCD to enjoy that, LOL). Since that meant that my files were in a multi-site directory listing, the file path would have been:
Http://katscafe.org/files/year/month/name-of-file
and still needs to forward to the current image file path, which again, is:
Http://katscafe.org/Cafe/wp-content/uploads/year/month/name-of-file
I'm not sure if I am overlooking an obvious tool that can help me figure this out, but every tool I've found involves post redirection, not a file path type of redirection. And even then I'm not entirely sure of my ability to figure it out completely.
I would be forever grateful for any help with this! Thanks so much!
Title says it all. I was like, ok no probs, I'll just make the subfolder disappear with htaccess. And no, it creates the exact same effect, but I'm so new at this that I can't make out what that means.
Layout breaking is like the CSS is falling apart or something. If I run the site in a subfolder I have no problems. I'd just like to make my site look a little more professional by having a clean url so I'm jumping through hoops trying to find out what's wrong but like I said, it's all new to me so debugging is a pain.
My site is www.pienisirkus.fi and since it's a live webshop I can't have it displayed broken so here's a screencap: http://imgur.com/jUaibfL
Everything is exactly the same in the code and everywhere, only the files and folders have been moved into the root folder.
You should set the path of your log and tmp folder in Global Configuration and Check "Directory Permissions" in System Information is all writable. it should work
enable the sef plugin, that should take care of relative paths.
And make sure your site is in the root, not just a few .htaccess rules to pretend it's there
Check mod_rewrite path, in chrome console, target to images and check if is readable. So in this case the problem is in the objects url (images, categories) and other.
Another case would be permissions, but in your screenshot your installation is local? and public_html is your localhost installation?
i recomend to see all images with chrome inspector, disable mod_rewrite and another url SEF and reload the page, check .css with chrome inspector, for example url(image.jpg) and verify if is readable
Thats all can i help you with my experience in joomla, i wait help you.
I have copied an existing drupal 6 site to a new host. I thought it was an easy task. Just change the mysql login credentials and run. But obviously not. Fist page is up and runing, but all links to existing pages doesn't work.
What am I missing here? Another configuration I've missed.
The Drupal 6 installation is a NodeStream distibution.
Link to site:
http://u0002002.fsdata.se
It is likely that you forgot to set up mod_rewrite so the nice urls don't work.
It is almost certain mod_rewrite is not turned on you can access pages like this
http://u0002002.fsdata.se/?q=yrke-karriar
To resolve quickly:
Turn off clean urls (don't know the exact url in Drupal 6)
Flush all caches
This will resolve until you can get mod_rewrite turned on or working.
A very common (and even easier to fix) problem that happens when moving hosts is that you forget to include the .htaccess file which can cause problems with clean URLs too.
Fix: Upload a fresh copy of the .htaccess file that comes with Drupal to your web root directory.
I have found out that sometimes I miss this file. This is because I installed Drupal by dragging all the files and folders over to my server, but since the .htaccess file starts with a period, OS X hides it. This means that the .htaccess file was never moved over. - Source DrupalDude.com
And from Drupal.org directly, Clean URLs not working? Check your .htaccess file
Check if the .htaccess file was actually uploaded. It should be in the directory where you uploaded Drupal (for example: /public_html/drupal/)
If the .htaccess file is missing, you need to upload it. If you accidentally deleted this file, just download Drupal again, and copy the new .htaccess file.
Make sure the file is only called .htaccess and not htaccess.txt or anything else. The .period .at .the .beginning is required.
This name usually means that the file will be invisible on folder listings on Unix-based systems so you might not always see it. If using an FTP client, you may have to configure it to 'show hidden files'. If listing on the commandline, you must ls -la to see it. This will be somewhat dependent on your OS.

I have a blog at http://hamids-it.elaosta.com amongst others. If I try to access it from
http://elaosta.com/hamids-it it loads the blog but says it couldn't find the page I wanted.
How do I fix this so I can use either?
I'm guessing you have a standard subdomain install, whereby http://subdomain.example.com is mapped to the directory /example.com/public_html/subdomain?
In any normal circumstance, say with a static HTML file, you can rightly access the same resource at both example.com/subdomain/resource.html and subdomain.example.com/resource.html.
However, in your case, WordPress is parsing the REQUEST_URI and using it to determine what to show.
So in the case of http://elaosta.com/hamids-it, WordPress is actually looking for a page 'hamids-it' - and if it doesn't find it, voila, your 404.
The fix?
You'll need to decide which way you want to access your blog, subdomain or sub-directory, then stick to it.
When you've made a choice, update your General settings in WordPress admin and set both address URL's to either http://hamids-it.elaosta.com or http://elaosta.com/hamids-it.
