I need help with the following issue as I have been struggling for days.
I was working on a Drupal website on my localhost and would like to transfer the site to hostmonster in order to go live later.
Before, I upload my site from my local machine, I will to test out the Drupal installation provided by hostmonster.
I installed Drupal through SimpleScript provided by hostmonster on a temporary url, and created an admin user name and password. I received the email with the following information:
Access URL: xx.xxx.xxx.xx/~mydomain/websitename
Admin Panel: http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx/~mydomain/websitename /?q�min
Admin Username: admin
Admin Password: 123456
When I click on the link: xx.xxx.xxx.xx/~mydomain/websitename , it bring me to the default Drupal front page with login block. When I enter the admin and admin password (from above), it just redirect to the 404 error message page.
If I go back and click on any links on the front page, it still bring me to the 404 error message page.
I created a ticket with hostmonster and got the following response:
if your going to run a drupal site on the temporary url you need to change the rewreite base in the .htaccess to RewriteBase /~mydomain/ and then edit the sites/default/settings.php file and uncomment the ;$base_url line by removing the semi colon in front of it and then change the url to your temporary url and save.
