Yes, I quote this. :wink:

hello , my domain is yeahz.net , forum folder on yeahz.net/forum , what should i edit ? i try edit and update it but not work , i guess i miss something


UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 'domain_name_here' WHERE config_name = 'cookie_domain';
UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 'domain_name_here' WHERE config_name = 'server_name';
UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 'path_to_phpBB' WHERE config_name = 'cookie_path';
UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 'domain_name_here' WHERE config_name = 'script_path';

Try editing this fields via phpmyadmin

yup , i know update it via phpmyadmin , the problem is "domain_name_here" should be replace with "http://yeahz.net" or "yeahz.net" ??
and what is server name ? sciprt_path is "/forum/" ? cookie_domain is "yeahz.net" ? "path_to_phpBB" is "/forum/" ?

any one with experience please guide me

The importan are script path and server name

server name: www.yeahz.net

script path: /forum/

And clear cache of your browser and delete the content of cache folder on your xs

UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 'yeahz.net' WHERE config_name = 'yeahz.net';
UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 'yeahz.net' WHERE config_name = 'www.yeahz.net';
UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = '/forum' WHERE config_name = '/forum';
UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = 'yeahz.net' WHERE config_name = '/forum/';


this is how i update , but when you try http://yeahz.net/forum , it can't find anything (blank page, reason full of ads was free hosting)

but some page can be found like http://yeahz.net/forum/rules.php

what problem ??

Are there all the xs files on your server?
That "ads page" in some free server means error...

i'm sure XS file on the server

but why ? i can't go in index.php and forum.php , that sql update is for phpbb2 , it not same as phpBB XS ?

first don't change config file

the best way to change the server and path is to go directly to phpmyadmin

but you can try this
copy the root to your old place [subdomain]
go to ACP and change server and path
server: www.yeahz.net
path: /forum/

that's all !

delete subdomain root and go to your new place

thank for your reply , i can access to admin area , i found that script path in admin area is '/forum/' too
the problem is can't access index.php and forum.php

you can access with http://yeahz.net/forum/rules.php and then you can try to access other pages , index.php and forum.php can't be found
i even can access the thread and post if use this address http://yeahz.net/forum/forum.php?c=1

what a weird problem :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

when i test posting , i can access the index.php now LOL after post a new post

now only forum.php can't access , you can browse my site to try

any idea why forum.php can't access ?? index.php solved with just a post :mryellow:

try to replace these files
do backup of your original files !
