Admin not working after changing base url

This is a new install of 2.3.2 installed under apache2 wwwroot/test

URL was wwwroot.com/test

Set up my store, everything is good.

 

Change the base url and base link url for secure and unsecure to wwwroot.com
Moved the files from wwwroot/test to wwwroot

 

Frontend is working fine

Backend: image at sign in not loading, menu and most links not working.

 

Other than clearing cache and browser cache, I don't know what else to do.
Please help.

Re: Admin not working after changing base url

Hello @naps1saps ,

Please try to deploy the static contents by :

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f 

I hope this will help you.

If it helps you, please accept it as solution and give kudos.

hello @naps1saps 

 

I agree @Sarvagya Pandey  you need to run deploy command after change in base url
Please run following commands and try admin url

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f 
php bin/magento cache:clean 
php bin/magento cache:flush

Re: Admin not working after changing base url

Sounds like a permission issue of some kind.  I ran the deploy static content and got this for the backend and a whole string of red errors:

In File.php line 151:
                                                                               
  The contents from the "/wwwroot/pub/static/adminhtml/Magen  
  to/backend/en_US/extjs/resources/css/ytheme-magento.css" file can't be read  
  . Warning!file_get_contents(/wwwroot/pub/static/adminhtml/  
  Magento/backend/en_US/extjs/resources/css/ytheme-magento.css): failed to op

Re: Admin not working after changing base url

Tried resetting the permissions according to the install documentation but it had no effect.  If I move everything back to the way it was, it works fine.

It feels like a permission or a file linking issue.  Very strange.

Should I post this as a bug?

Re: Admin not working after changing base url

Hello @naps1saps 


For setting right permissions you can follow magento dev docs

https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/install-gde/prereq/file-system-perms.html

 cd <magento_root>
 find var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod u+w {} +
 find var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod u+w {} +
 chmod u+x bin/magento

you can also post it as a issue but make sure to provide all steps to reproduce the issue on latest version of Magento 2

Re: Admin not working after changing base url

So instead of moving the magento folder to where I wanted it, I changed the Apache config to point to the folder instead.

 

Basically instead of the root being wwwroot/site/

Changed it to wwwroot/site/test/

 

This works fine which supports my theory there is something wrong with the file path links.

 

I confirmed a new test install has the same problem I experienced so I'm going to submit a bug report but at least I found a solution for the short term.
