On a fresh Magento 2 Open Source install, I accidentally named the site “foo.locale” instead of “foo.local”. I’ve updated the database with the correct value [1] but when accessing the homepage foo.local I am still getting redirected to foo.locale with a parameter:
$ curl -I http://foo.local
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: http://foo.locale/?SID=ltpekiq86h9nltd5rhgdeaidav
I have used mysqldump to confirm that the string foo.locale is not found anywhere in the database, and I’ve used grep to confirm that the string is not found in any files either.
Where is the redirect happening, and how can I prevent it?
[1] Changing “foo.locale” to “foo.local” in the database:
MariaDB> update core_config_data set value='http://foo.local/' where value='http://foo.locale/';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
