Hmm, I can’t get any traction on this at all. I’ve been through the solution many times and understand the steps but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on my site. I’m expecting to see the URL in the address bar update with the location specified in my url.ini file, is that correct?

I’m running MAMP Pro and have the rewrite_module enabled.

I would need more details of your modification. you can contact me privately @ jools [at] oxfordinspire.co.uk and I can try and help. The solution I posted here does work, and I still use it in a setup myself.

I am in the same position as the others. I modified your code to not use an external file, but am suffering from the same problem of the backend not working.

I used firefox LiveHTTPheaders to see that /index.php/[admin_front_name] keeps getting a 302 response – to the same URL.

In my case, https:// is the protocol in the database and web/secure/use_in_adminhtml is set to 1.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Did you ever solve this? I am hoping this is a good way to work with staging and production catalogs, but I would like to be sure that this is a viable solution before diving in headfirst…

Hello

I’m testing a full restore of my live magento site to a temp server. I backed up the full /magento/ folder excluding cached dirs etc into a tar package. I restore the files and database to my temp server but whenever I try and load the site I get the error

Can’t retrieve entity config: core/store_group

I’m pulling my hair out because I can’t identify where the problem is, base urls are set correctly but this error seems to be happening before the DB connect, if I set the local.xml connect credentials to rubbish the error still appears. A google search bought me here and I wondered if you could shed anymore light on it?

You can see the problem temporarily i.e. today 21.07.2010 here.

Same problem here… Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Thanks for this great post!

I’ve set everything up on our server, front-end is working perfectly, everything is behaving as it should. The only problem that I have is that whenever I try to access the Magento admin panel, it directs me to our live-site admin URL, instead of the staging admin URL.

I’ve refreshed all caches, checked all settings for this extension in comparison to the post, can’t seem to narrow down the problem though.

Any ideas on what the cause of this can be?
