Occasionally when installing any of the quickstart packages that use Virtuemart the livesite url doesnt update. The most common issue is that when you try to navigate either to the shop page or navigate to the Virtuemart admin you will be presented with a page not found error and the url will be referencing something like this:

http://localhost:8888/topshop.

This means that the url has not been updated and so you need to edit a file on your webserver to fix the issue.

Navigate to administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php and open the file in a text editor.

Look for lines 35 and 36 and change the reference to the localhost to your actual url.

So it should look like this.

Code:

define( 'SECUREURL', 'http://www.mysite.com/' );

This will fix the issue and allow you to enter the shop and start building your products. As far as we can tell there is no way to update this file during the installation so this is the workaround for the time being.
