Hello-

Typically I would log in to cmsBuilder with: http://www370.pair.com/decaroii/cmsAdmin/admin.php...

This temporary url was given a permanent IP address today which is 216.92.92.101. This IP replaces www370.pair.com/decaroii, but when I enter http://216.92.92.101/cmsAdmin/admin.php[/#336699], I get this error: getPage: Error opening socket: Operation timed out (60)...[/#000000]

Entering http://http://216.92.92.101/ will take me to the home page as expected, etc., but I can't access cmsBuilder...Can you give me a clue as to what's happening and how to fix it?[/#000000]

Thanks, Rick[/#000000]

Hi Rick,

Can you send me FTP details to dave@interactivetools.com and I'll take a look and patch it if needed. Note: Email, don't post login details to the forum.

Thanks!

Dave-

Thanks for helping me get this up and running. Don't really know what you did other than update the software, but it work great now!

So, another question: If you recall the temporary location of the server root was "www370.pair.com/decaroii/", and that was updated to 216.92.92.101. The only thing that didn't work properly was $upload['urlPath']...That's because the path was something like /decaroii/cmsAdmin/uploads/pixname.jpg...So, I had to remove "/decaroii/" from $upload['urlPath'] like so: substr($upload['urlPath'],9)...Now the images display OK...

My question: Is there a more elegant way to accomplish this...I tried in cmsB but didn't want to change any of the upload paths...What would you have done?

Thanks, Rick

Hi Rick,

The easiest way to fix the upload paths is to:
- Upgrade to the latest version (for Backup & Restore features)
- Then click "Backup" under: Admin > General
- Create a 2nd copy of your backup file.
- Do a search and replace on the backup file to fix image paths
- Upload it back to the server and restore it under: Admin > General.

It's better to have accurate data in the database than to adjust the data in your viewers.

Hope that helps!
