Hi all… well, after years of reluctance, I have finally upgraded from TTG CE3 to BL5. The upgrade was not bad but I have created a problem. Within my domain, call it mydomain.com, I have a subdomain, call it mywifesdomain.com. After the BL install I get Error 404 when I try to reach her domain. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?
Oh, one other thing… the CE3 files are all still there on the server too. Being pretty ignorant about this stuff, I am unclear on what is safe to remove and what is necessary, and in some cases, what are the webhost’s files. Is it a safe assumption that anything within the public_html folder is my stuff and I can get rid of it without affecting the site’s ability to function?
thanks for any help with this, and again, apologies…
Ed
You can delete everything that was exported and uploaded from Lightroom.
We’ll need more info on your setup to help with the other problem.
What version of php is being used in the subdomain? Are you using a redirect to bring visitor’s to your wife’s site.
Can you provide the real urls to the sites?
Did you install Backlight into the subdomain as well as your main domain?
Hi Rod, thanks for the speedy response. I’m not sure how to answer the question about php version. I’m going to attach screen shots of the server site and also of the public_html folder. I’m not sure what method is used to get to wife-site. My domain is edrudolph.com and hers is rathunter.com
That folder structure doesn’t look right. The Backlight folder and the galleries/ folder and the index.php file (as well as the .htaccess file) should only be inside of the public_html folder.
Inside of your public_html folder (I’m assuming that’s your old CE3 site?) you still have files that could cause problems. Like galleries.php, about.php, services.php…All the old Pages files and folders.
The public_html folder is where Backlight should be installed.
You also have a www.rathunter.com folder in the public_html folder. Is that where your wife’s site lives?
I’m not really sure how your site is working, seeing that it’s not inside of the public_html folder.
Is that correct, and if it’s wrong, does that explain why there is a BL folder outside of public_html? IOW, should the ideal API URL be edrudolph.com/public_html/backlight/publisher ?
Thanks, Rod. I’ve cleaned up everything outside of the public_html folder. Now I’m guessing that within that folder, everything dated before today’s date is associated with CE3 and can be tossed. ??
So, in order to install BL for rathunter.com, which now resides only in public_html, would there be an installation inside the rathunter.com folder?
And once installed, in order to use the TTG Publisher within Lightroom to direct galleries to both edrudolph.com and also to rathunter.com, should there be two instances of the plug-in? And if so, what settings will tell the 2nd instance that it should be talking to rathunter rather than edrudolph?
Reading through the edophoto thread, I saw that if you are only going to use BL for the creation of galleries and albums, you don’t need the index.php and .htaccess at the root level of the site, only in the BL folder itself?
