Sergey,
How does that affect what is in the DB as far as the URLs are concerned? Does it replace what’s in the DB with the content of the Variable?
we are doing that between the “testing” and “prod”.. copying the DB back to testing and hacking the DB so that the URLs are correct.
As far as the “authoring” part, the “authoring” server and the “public” server are sharing the same filesystem via NFS and DB using different mysql accounts. The internal DNS points site.foo.com to the “authoring” box and externally that URL is pointed to the “public” box.
The BIG problem is that now on the testing side when you log in to site.testing.foo.com/wp-admin, it forwards to site.authoring.testing.senate.gov/wp-login and bombs out. I can’t figure out what the hell is going on.
I just don’t understand why WP isn’t agnostic to that stuff so that everything could be relatively pathed.
