Good morning. I'm still pretty new to Magento since I started using it not too long ago. My company had to change webhosts because our previous host didn't have Cronjobs. Now after moving all the files, a lot of sites won't open. This is the site. The backend also changed from url/admin to url/index.php/admin for some reason.

Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks in advance.

edit04: When I first installed Magento onto the server, I had to clear all .htaccess files because they had something in them that was not compatible with our host. But since then it has been working fine. Whatever fine is in this case. At least the backend doesn't give me any trouble.

edit01: That's how my .htaccess looks right now:

############################################
## enable rewrites

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on

############################################
## you can put here your magento root folder
## path relative to web root

    #RewriteBase /magento/

############################################

edit02: If I add the .htaccess file into main directory, the site stops working. (Unless it changes back to url/admin) In the config/web the "use server rewrites" option is on

edit03: So it does not just change back to url/admin. This is what happens everytime I add the .htaccess file into "magento/"

  • it seems your .htaccess has some issue, please use original .htaccess from magento package and then test again

  • overwrote the .htaccess file in the root directory with the original-magento-install one. After that I cannot even go into backend. If I delete or empty the file however it works again. I quote from the world4you FAQ: "Entries like Options, php_flag, php_value etc. are not allowed and have to be deleted."

  • I had to delete a lot of php_flags. Now it's working again. "## enable rewrites | Options +FollowSymLinks | RewriteEngine on | I removed the Options-line

Make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled on your new server.
Let's take the registration page for example:

http://www.wein-partner.at/shop/customer/account/create/ does not work, but http://www.wein-partner.at/shop/index.php/customer/account/create/ does.

So I'm 99% sure that mod_rewrite is the issue here.

    I agree with what @Marius is saying. Make sure your AllowOverride directive is set correctly i.e ALL httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride

  • so basically I have to add into my .htaccess: "AllowOverride All"? Is that correct?

  • @theHubi. Not only that. You need to make sure that the mod_rewrite apache (if you are using apache) module is enabled. Here is how you can check if it's enabled: stackoverflow.com/questions/9021425/… and here are some details on what you need to do: stackoverflow.com/questions/869092/…

  • well if I log into our host I get: "MySQL Databases" I can log into the database used for Magento and have phpMyAdmin from there on

  • if it helps, the new host is world4you.com

Ok so everything works again! Thanks everyone!

I owe you one.

summary:

editing the .htaccess file and enabling RewriteEngine + checking the config/web for rewrite was successful.
