a) If I do this in the configuration panel it gives me a 500 error and doesn’t save to local.php file.
b) If I change it directly in the local.php file, delete the cache and give owner and write permissions it saves everything but I get a 404 error when I try to access the dashboard or contacts or anything else.
The odd thing is I can get into the dashboard without the /maut/ extension.
My guess is, something doesn’t get configured correctly when the cache gets rebuilt.
I’m not a total pro on this, but have you tried changing this via sftp? In Filezilla, I am able to control how the url reads by changing the directory structure. Essentially, make sure your mautic install folder is named “maut” then add that entire folder into the “domain.tld”. That should do the trick without causing any 500 errors.
@joeyk I got a Mautic 404. @EJL yes I did this already. It didn’t work anyway. @allistaire thanks.
Finally we just changed all the links via sql in all 700+ existing emails, in all pages, images and so on.
And then changed the tracking code on all 4 pages which are filling this Mautic instance.
That took us approx. 5 minutes.
I think it is better futurewise.
