Can't find mosConfig_absolute_path in configuration.php

Question

Hi

I am trying to move my Joomla1 website from localhost to my bluehost.com domain. For testing I have created a subdirectory on my domain for testing and moved all my Joomla! files to this. I have created this subdirectory under the public_html folder.

I am using different menus on the front page (custom page) and remaining pages. My problem is that the menu items on the front page are looking for pages in a subdirectory named joomla instead of looking for pages in my subdirectory (testing)

Based on suggestions from some websites I thought changing mosConfig_absolute_path will help but my configuration.php file in the testing subdirectory doesn't have a property called mosConfig_absolute_path. I do not face this problem on any of the menu items on the other pages.

Can someone please help me with this problem and how I should overcome it. Thanks.

Answer 1

The variable you're talking about is $mosConfig_absolute_path rather than $msConfig_absolute_path. You will also need to reset $mosConfig_live_site.

Also, migrating to Joomla! 1.5 would avoid this issue entirely; it automatically detects your base path and URL.
