I'm new to Magento (using 1.6.1) and I'm getting very frustrated with it!
Whenever I type my virtual host url into the browser "http://website" it goes straight to the live site.
I've googled the problem over and over to no avail unfortunately.
I've tried:
- changing the secure and unsecure paths in
core_config
to point to http://website - clearing out everything from
var/cache
- checking
local.xml
to make sure it was accessing the correct DB - checking
.htaccess
to make sure there wasn't a redirect in there.
I've looked at similar or the same questions on here and I can't seem to find my solution!
Please let me know if I have missed any key information out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
System > Configuration > General > Web
, or it will continually overwrite your changes in the db.var/session
as well because base_urls are stored in user sessions. Don't forget to clear cookies, just to be safe!
