Hello,

I recently installed RedMystic and immediately found that I had problems in the product images in Virtuemart gallery ....

It altered the database jos_vm_product_file and replaced all the valid product image URL with a localhost/1stop URL.

Also it created 2 XML files 1 in /tmp and the other in /archive folders which I presume uploaded to Google .. thus the massive number of 404 errors being reported.

I replaced all the URL in the XMLs .. and change all the entries in the DB (manually, because I don’t understand MySQL too well) and now everything is working fine again ...

I’m not sure where it got the Localhost URL from ... I did a code search using DreamWeaver for that localhost string and it didn’t come up in any of the PHP or HTML filesof my site.

Can you please help me figure out what happened? I don't really want to go through that process again, and I don't really want to disable RedMystic..

site: 1stopledshop.net

Template is from Hot Joomla Templates (eCommerce)

VM - 1.1.7

Joomla 1.5.22

Thanks

Hi,

That is very odd because redmystic is designed to only read virtuemart information.  You do not want to spend time changing the xml files because they will be re-written each time a feed is published to google/redmystic. A better way to do that is by clicking the notify redmystic button on the product monitor page.

If urls have localhost host in them then that is how you logged into to Joomla. You can force it to be your domain name by changing the root url configuration item in the component.

Also, make sure you publish the module because you're getting rejected because redmystic can't authenticate your site key. And make sure you have the secure pingback configuration item set to "no" because it appears you do not have a ssl certificate installed on your server.

Cheers,

Garry

Hi Garry,

Site seems to be holding up today,

I guess it was a glitch when first installed ... I added a couple more products and VM placed the additional pictures in the correct directory.

So hopefully it was a one-off occurence.

thanks
