    SOLVED Why does a rocketheme installation affect a separate index folder?

    Posted 3 years 9 months ago
    • Hello,

      Using RocketTheme templates for Joomla, I've got my main website folder (MAIN SITE) as production, and a separate folder (TEST SITE) for testing new updates.

      Both folders reside in www root. They each have their own separate config files and subfolders.

      They also have different URLS:

      localhost/MAIN_SITE/index.php

      localhost/TEST_SITE/index.php

      Recently, I was in the administrator dashboard for my TEST SITE, and I installed the Aurora template for testing.
      I only installed the Aurora template to my TEST SITE. (Not my MAIN SITE) I double and triple checked this. Everything looked good
      when I opened up my TEST SITE in the browser.

      HOWEVER, When I then pulled up my MAIN SITE in the browser, the site did not open, and I got the following error notice:

      Error: Could not find template "rt_aurora".

      I expected to see my MAIN SITE come up with the theme it's already been using. I didn't expect it to look for the new Aurora
      theme.

      Is that a mistake in my configuration?
      Or if someone could please explain the gap in my knowledge, I'd really appreciate it.

      Thank you!


      I'm using:
      Windows 10 Home
      Wamp 3.2.2.2 64 bit
      PHP 7.3.12
      Apache 2.4.4.1
      Joomla 3.9.19

    • It very much sounds like the two separate sites are using the same database name.

    • Thanks very much, MrT! I had a feeling it was going to be a simple explanation that I just wasn't thinking of.
      They are certainly using the same database. That solves my issue.
