Hello,
I have a VPS at mediatemple (running plesk 8.2) and am moving a site across from another host. I have set up the site on the new VPS and transferred all site files over to the web directory on the new server. The site is a DB driven site that uses a custom CMS we built and there are some paths, etc. that are going to have to be adjusted to make it work on this new server. In addition, there is testing etc that we are going to have to do to ensure everything is working properly before I can point the DNS to this new VPS.
The problem is I can not view any of these files in this new vps's web directory in a web browser in order to see if they are properly functioning. The Site Preview button from within the domain control panel will only display the index page for the site (which is currently not working on the vps for the reasons I described) and I can not access any other site pages by adding their names to the end of the strange domain name that gets spit out in the preview which is formatted like this:
https://00.00.000.00:000/sitepreview/http/domain.com/?previous_page=dom_ctrl
Media temple had no suggestions on how to make this work but I know I can't be the only person who has had this problem. They suggested using the file manager to go to the page I wanted to look at and clicking the "open the file in a web browser" button but when I do this it opens the file on the actual live site (old site) that the DNS is pointing to rather than the file on the vps I am trying to look at.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Damien
