Hi,
We have a small site where our old (D5) content and database is just too crossthreaded to perform a direct upgrade.
So, a piecemeal upgrade is planned and we'd like to
be able to access the old D5 drupal installation as the subdomain d5.mysite.com
while we work on the new site.
so we did the following:
the old D5 files would be at /D5
the newD6 files would be at /D6 and have symbolic link from /public_html
/D5/sites/default/settings.php has the base_url set to D5.mysite.com and the site5 subdomain points D5.mysite.com to /D5
/D6/sites/default/settings.php has the base_url set to www.mysite.com
when we enter
D5.mysite.com
it kicks us back to the new D6 URL
mysite.com
We can't figure out what part/step of this we're missing that doesn't allow D5.mysite.com to be a recognized URL.
when we undo these steps , we point /public_html to /D5 , reset the $base_url line and all is back to the starting point.
Any tips,diagnostics or good tutorials ?
Thx,
C
