I'm working locally on my Mac with the latest version of CiviCRM on latest WordPress, served by MAMP. Using the API, I create an attachment to a contact, and those attachments successfully display after being retrieved through the API. The URL comes back as http://localhost/civicrm?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm%2Ffile&reset=1&id=15&eid=29&fcs=...

However, when I upload the code and database records to the remote server for testing, the one thing that doesn't work are my attachments. The URLs come back from the API missing a slash: http://remotedomain.comcivicrm?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm%2Ffile&reset=1&id=15&eid=29&fcs=... Notice the missing slash after the `.com?

I've double checked the configuration in civicrm.settings.php. Both localhost and remotedomain.com have a / in the URL base. I checked the various settings in the admin interface, but nothing looks amiss.

What could be causing this issue?

  • Just a thought: Is the remote server linux or windows? – Demerit Jul 15 '19 at 23:11
  • I'm assuming Linux since the paths begin with /home/username/ – repertor Jul 15 '19 at 23:20
  • Ok it was just a thought. It seems to work ok on wpmaster.demo.civicrm.org, using the api explorer, so it makes me think it would be something to do with config somewhere. – Demerit Jul 15 '19 at 23:56
  • A configuration issue seems to be the likely explanation, right!? But I export the DB from localhost to remote, swapping in the domain with find-and-replace. And I upload the config file as-is, with code that inserts http://localhost/ or http://remotedomain.com/ as applicable with the terminal slashes. So what gives...? – repertor Jul 16 '19 at 2:49

Can you check

  1. Check if base url in civicrm.settings.php file is set 'http://remotedomain.com/'.
  2. Try setting home and siteurl in wp_options table to 'http://remotedomain.com/' (not needed for normal install).

  • civicrm.settings.php has a value for CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL that is set for the correct remote URL, including the last / wp_options already has both values set with the correct remote domain, including the / at the end. – repertor Jul 16 '19 at 12:12
  • How about in civicrm.settings.php? – Pradeep Nayak Jul 16 '19 at 12:15

    I may have discovered a bug. I print_fd the globals $civicrm_root, $civicrm_setting, $civicrm_paths and saw on the remote server that even though [wp.frontend.base] was defined in civicrm.settings.php with the slash (I could see it right there in the variable definition), it was being dropped. So I added another slash. Then there were two! So I removed one, and now it's working...! – repertor Jul 16 '19 at 12:48
