Magento 2.3 issue on live server

[jean _bertrand]

Hi guys,

I set up my magento 2.3 on localhost via Xampp and all working perfectly.

I transferred magento folder and imported the database on server phpmyadmin.

I changed The core_config_data base URL and entered the env.php informations correctly.

When I google the store address in browser, it redirects me to Localhost (127.0.0.1).

If I clean the Var/cache folder, I can finally access to the live store, but all CMS seems to be down and the store frontend aspect completly destroyed.

Any solution for this issue ? is it a matter of htaccess ? Why does the store design get down each time I clear the var/cache folder ? Thank you for your advices.

Hello @jean _bertrand 

Please check if do you have .htaccess or not in root folder and in pub folder.

Then give permission to folders:

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; && find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; && chmod u+x bin/magento

run below commands:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php bin/magento cache:flush

Hello Manish,

Yes I have a .htaccess and a .htaccess.sample in root directory.

I gave permission to Pub and Var folders.

Once I run the command : php bin/magento setup:di:compile, I have a warning message telling the folder "not empty". If I continue, the frontend and admin get down with an error message... Whaooo !

I use ssh Mobalxterm.

Remove content of generated/code/* folder then run again command.

Could you give me the complete path to "generated/code" folder ?

@jean _bertrand 

On Magento root folder

rm -rf generated/code/*

Thank you Manish,

Unfortunately, the commands php bin/magento setup:upgrade, shows a syntax error on my ssh.

May I run these commands on localhosts and then transfer the store on live server ?

But each time I run the command : php bin/magento setup:di:compile, the site gets down even in localhost... Do you have an idea about this issue ?

Not recommended that, later you has to run all these commands on server only so don't try any shortcuts.

I hope you will understand. Thanks

Ok, so on live server I run these commands in root directory right ? So why do I get syntax error ?
