I recently encountered a problem with a Joomla website which had VirtuMart in it. I moved the whole joomla site from a demo server to an active server with the actual domain pointing to it. Everything worked fine as I did the required changes in the configuration.php of the joomla folder. But the VirtueMart component was still pointing to the old demo server path. I then googles a bit and found a very good solution. I changed the config file of the virtuemart component located at:<\/p>\n

\/administrator\/components\/com_virtuemart\/virtuemart.cfg.php<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The following two paths need to be changed with the new path:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. define( <\/span>‘URL’<\/span>, <\/span>‘http:\/\/demoserverURL\/joomlafolder\/’<\/span> ); <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. define(\u00a0‘SECUREURL’<\/span>, <\/span>‘http:\/\/<\/span><\/span>demoserverURL\/joomlafolder\/<\/span><\/span>‘<\/span> );<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Instead of the “demoserverLink\/joomlafolder” use your actual joomla folder link. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    You might face a new problem while doing this. If you are using ftp to download the file “<\/span><\/span>virtuemart.cfg.php” and re-upload it with the changed path, you may get an “Permission Denied<\/strong>” error. There is a good solution for this too. Install a joomla component named “Extplorer<\/strong>” or “JoomlaXplorer<\/strong>“. This component is a joomla admin panel component that gives you the power to upload\/delete\/edit files in the joomla site. After installing any one of these two components just browse through the file and edit the above mentioned two lines of the “virtuemart.cfg.php” file.<\/p>\n

    I could get rid of the problem this way, I hope the solution will be useful for anyone facing the same problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
