Hey guys I'm back!

Sadly I had to make a hard decision to temporarily close down my other site as the new Community I've taken over has taken up all my time. It has now come time to introduce ES to this community site that now gets over 10 million hits a month! So I can't wait to see what we can do with ES and this community.

However I'm running into issues! With my new host provider, they have a Staging platform, so I setup a staging platform and installed ES, however when logging in, I can't click on anything really and the site just spins loading all the time.

I've provided all the details for you to check it out below.
Hello Fred,

You could try writing to them but I think one simple way to display this issue to them is to add a test code in your Joomla's index.php file at the end of the file,



jimport('joomla.filesystem.file');

$content = JURI::root();

JFile::write(dirname(__FILE__) . '/domain.txt', $content);


Then, access your staging file and the domain.txt should exist on the site already. If you view the contents, the domain is actually your live site's domain.

Hello Fred,

Hm, there's a problem with your host and I believe it's from Siteground am I correct? What actually happened is that they are actually tricking the web server to think that you are accessing staging.xxx.com by doing some replacement in the output. However, when our script tries to write some files in the cache file, the URL to the site is still being pointed to your live site.

ah, I figured it was a staging issue. So I guess there is no work around, maybe I can open a ticket with them. And yes you are correct it is Siteground

Thanks Fred Keep me updated on this as I am also very curious about how they are actually "creating" these staging sites.

Mark,

So after days of tickets and trouble shooting. I've come to the conclusion that its not possible to use their staging method to stage a site properly. I will just have to create one from scratch.
