I changed my DEV wp_config.php to point to PROD_DB but nothing displays.
thats how its done.
are the 2 pair of urls the same?
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/
PROD points to:
http://www.example.com
and DEV points to:
http://www.example.com/dev
Going thru your tutorial about changing the site_url and home values: in my case, PROD has http://www.example.com for both values and DEV has http://www.example.com/dev for both values.
Would I need do change the DEV site_url and home to http://www.example.com ?
Not sure I understand, but what do these two parameters have to do with accessing the database?
Thanks for any help!
becauae this:
I changed my DEV wp_config.php to point to PROD_DB but nothing displays.
tells us that there isnt a databse connection issue
WordPress give well known error messages when it doesnt properly connect to the database.
Hi whooami,
makes sense.
OK, trying to understand further: if there is no DB connection issue, why should I be required to change the site_url and home links?
To recap, my DEV WP works with DEV_DB but not when I change DEV config.php to point to PROD_DB. My DEV site_url and home links remain the same (because I am still running my.example.com/dev), I only changed where my DB is pointing to.
I am most puzzled.
please excuse this “shot in the dark” (as i’m not too smart) – could there be some interference with the cache ?
