I have two WordPress websites set up for learning purposes on my localhost
. One is a clone of the other, and both are accessible through different loopback
addresses in my /etc/hosts file. When logging into the cloned website (duplicatetestsite.com), the login redirects me to the original website's admin panel (testsite1.com) even though they have separate databases and configurations. Before logging into the second one both are different websites. I can tell because one has an extra post.
I have localhost with two different hostname for different address.
The following is a part of my /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 testsite1.com www.testsite1.com
127.0.0.5 duplicatetestsite.com www.duplicatetestsite.com
- Both are installed in different folders as well as are connected to
- separate databases. Contents of both
wp-config.php
file are different. - Both have different
virualhost
file for apache server.
I have done the following to troubleshoot.
- Verified virtual host configuration for duplicatetestsite.com.
- Confirmed separate databases and configurations.
Both have different virtualhosts configured for apache.
Virtual Host Configuration:
testsite1.com (127.0.0.1):
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerName testsite1.com
ServerAlias www.testsite1.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/wordpress
<Directory /srv/www/wordpress>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
DirectoryIndex index.php
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /srv/www/wordpress/wp-content>
Options FollowSymLinks

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
duplicatetestsite.com (127.0.0.5):
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.5:80>
ServerName duplicatetestsite.com
ServerAlias www.duplicatetestsite3.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/wordpress3
<Directory /var/www/wordpress3>

AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
DirectoryIndex index.php
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/wordpress3/wp-content>

</VirtualHost>
I would appreciate any help regarding why this redirect is happening and how to fix it so I can log in to duplicatetestsite.com without being redirected. Additional Info This is on LAMP stack on my machine.
