dear sirs,
we are running a magento shop and our hosting company made us a dev environment, we want to use to upgrade the CE Version from 1.7.02 to 1.9.1. For this purpose a database was copied and the local.xml was edited correctly to connect with the test database.
But we have a problem, that the dev-subdomain (dev.domain.com) is not working. It redirects always to the live environment index.php (domain.com).
What should we do? Our hosting provider tells us the problem is in the .htaccess file in the live folder. The test environment .htaccess is empty.
My first idea:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]
Should we delete it or change it somehow? If i change both links to dev.comain.com the URL while visitng the site is correct, but the redirection fails and we get an error message.
If i add
#Alternate default index page
DirectoryIndex dev
Then neither the live nor the test index.php do work. So what could we try instead or additionally? The Rewriterules are on.
############################################
## rewrite everything else to index.php
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
Additionally we have this one in our .htaccess
############################################
## default index file
DirectoryIndex index.php
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
Just deleting or renaming the .htaccess does not work neither. It just still redirects to the live environment.
I will be thankful for every hint.
Best Regards
Dimitri Petrik
