base url not working

Permalink
I am probably not seeing the B****ing obvious so hope someone can spot it for me.

Have created a site in 5.6.3.3 for a friend, very simple site 3 pages, home page booking page and a French version of the homepage.

site address iswww.www.quercymusique.com/quercymusique...

I had intended to use the base url redirect to point the site just tohttp://www.quercymusique.com/ but no matter what I try I just get 505 or 404 errors.

I have tried the following:

Pretty urls on and off
editing the config/site.php file to add the redirects
moving the quercymusique folder (renamed from concrete5.6.3.3) up to root from htdocs and all the logical combinations of the these actions.

The site is working aswww.www.quercymusique/quercymusique.com... with the folder at
/htdocs/quercymusique
no redirect in site.php

htaccess file has following which is removing index.php from url ok.

# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /quercymusique/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --


any thoughts on what I have messed up would be appreciated.

used the rewrite base url for another site last year with no problems

Did you change

RewriteBase /quercymusique/

to

RewriteBase /


It's not clear from your post if you tried this already.

Also, turn off that autoplaying music :|

hi thanks for responding

nope that doesn't fix things, in fact it breaks all the other pages for some reason.

What I am trying to do is have the site appear to be at http://www.quercymusique.com and was expecting to use the base url parameter to do that.
I had to build the site before the domain was selected and available which is why its at www.www.quercymusique.com/quercymusique...

I was hoping someone would point out that I had made a simple error in there somewhere and could see it for myself.

It is noteworthy that your server is using 'nginx', for future reference in case someone else can help you further.
