Very very particular problem I had with the configuration of my company’s web site. The initial conditions are:
- hosting with double os / double server on the same domain (in my case hosting windows + linux with Aruba, a popular Italian hosting company)
- need to install wordpress on the secondary server (on linux, off course)
My hosting company give two subdomain ( win.domain.com and lnx.domain.com) to access your two machines, but in my case I have to use the win domain as default, as www.domain.com. When I installed wp on the lnx server I had all the links inconsistents due to those pre-conditions.
The solution is to simply modifiy a pair of entry in the Database:
- change www to your linux subdomain in the table wp_options at the parameters “home” and “siteurl”
- don’t touch the parameter “upload_path”
Have a nice day!
I apologise for being off-topic but I was just wondering which hosting company you use? You seem to mention different web hosts but from what I’ve noticed, you’ve never actually discussed the company that you use to store your blog. Maybe it would be a great idea to share this with me and your other users. — Jake.
Hi Jake,
the company is Aruba (http://www.aruba.it).
Greetings!
