Need help with chaning domani name

[Isje]

What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?
V4.1.5 Designer

What template are you using?
NU NuStyle Template


Please describe in detail the issue you are having:
Hi, I'm chaning the domain name for my website, but I've encountered a problem when I try to change values on the admin area. If for example I want to delete a category, I get a blank page saying:
"I am sorry this action is not permitted."

This happens to any value that I want to change. However, from the front end, changing values works fine.

Any idea why this is?

Thanks!

so have you already changed the domain name with which your ste is accessed? Have you gone into the main 68C admin settings and changed the domain for the site? You may have to manually edit the database and change that value, its likely throwing off the scripts if the server thinks you are on one domain yet your 68C thinks its another.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, I have changed the domain name in the 68cl Admin area. I also deleted the key.php file (do I need to upload a new one?)

As for manually changing the value. What and how exactly (sorry my programming knowledge is near to 0)

Thanks again

If you changed the URL in the 68c admin to reflect the new domain name then you shouldnt have to worry about manually changing it by editing the database.

How long ago did you make the domain name change?

I am still using an preview DNS, just to make sure that everything is working before I change the DNS entry.

Do you think this is related?

I just discovered that adding a posting doesn't work as well. Whenever I click on continue, the page just refreshes ....

Im not familiar with the "preview DNS" BUT if you havent changed the actual DNS enter but you have changed the URL in your 68C admin then how can 68C scripts find each each other?



If you access your site at because that is the current domain associated with your web space.....

http://myoldsite.com

And then you go in and change the URL in 68C to be....

http://mynewsite.com

Then when 68C runs a script that calls another script it is going to be looking for the script at the domain http://mynewsite.com however if that doesnt esist yet, how will it find it?

We also have csrf protection built into the admin that confirms "form posts" are coming from the domain it is installed on. So that could be the issue. Some times "preview" options from control panels can cause it to trip up.

In the 68C Cient area I entered the temporary domain name as given to me by my host (godaddy domain.dnspreview.com). I haven't moved the files or database; I only changed the domain name.
Once the website is tested ok, then I will change the DNS...

Its not an issue that needs solving, its a limitation. If you changed the URL in your 68C config then it has to match the real domain name or things likely wont work properly.
