Moving VirtueMart: Link path problem in admin console

Problem
Just now, I needed to move a website running Joomla 1.5 and VirtueMart 1.1.2 from the development server, to the live web space. After I had moved the data, and the files, and updated the path in Joomla’s ‘configuration.php’ file, it seemed to work ok, but all the links in the VirtueMart Admin area still pointed to my development server.
Solution
After doing a ‘find in files’ for my development server’s name, I found two more paths that need changing in VirtueMart’s own configuration file. This is the file:
/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php
The following two paths need editing to point to the new server location (URL):
define( 'URL', 'http://my.devserver.com/joomla/' ); define( 'SECUREURL', 'https://secure.devserver.com/joomla/' );
A simple fix, but probably worth posting.
Excellent quick fix. Very annoying that virtuemart keeps this in it’s own special location.
Simple and quick. Thanks for the post…
Just to say a big thank you for the above, this was an excellent fix which i had been struggling with for a number of days. Cheers for that.
Rep+++++ for you.
