http://ip_address/~homedir works. http://url doesn't - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


hi,

you'll have forgive vagueness of post. i'm reasonably experienced web application developer , systems admin, work entirely within microsoft world; iis, c#/vb / ms sql. know next nothing joomla or lamp stack.

one of clients has had website built advertising agency using joomla, , hosted in2hosting. sole involvement have been update target of @ , www dns records switch new site. however, before doing so, decided test site thoroughly.

the developers had supplied test url in form of http://ip_address/~clientname. when accessed via this, works expected. added entry local hosts file test operation under final url.

when accessed way, homepage comes up, every seo-friendly link (permalink, suppose) on page results in 404 error. however, if insert ~clientname url, works fine. summarise:

http://ip_address/~clientname <- works
http://url <-works
http://url/page_name <- doesn't work
http://url/~clientname/page_name <- works

all links on page appear absolute. if access site via base url, links within rendered html take form /page_name. if accessed via http://url/~clientname, links within rendered html take form /~clientname/page_name.

now here's fun part. advertising agency claiming everything's hunkydory. everything's working fine. don't have access site code, or hosting panel's cpanel instance.

i can't specific answers questions, i'm looking general ideas can feed wonks @ advertising agency try , them resolve issue.

any or suggestions gratefully received. thank you.
