The first three main questions are:

Do you have a backup of your Database from your old server. ?

Do you have a download of all of the Icy Pheonix forum from your old server ?

Did you change the name (DNS) to your forum, or the PATH to the forum to something else. ?

Hi paralepepipedo,

You appear to have done most everything right, but try clearing your browser cookies and cache. If you don't want to do that then try it with another browser.

Also do as xmenfile suggested.

If that doesn't work, have a look at /config.php and make sure it shows the correct path information etc for your new database.

If all the file structure is the same as the old server, and the database the same, and you haven't changed names / paths as you said you haven't - then it appears to be one of the other things above still uses the old paths.

You may also need to set a "hard complete path" with the /forum.php in your browser to your new forum, as not doing this can sometimes cause the wrong paths to keep coming up.

This will happen if you do not update the server and script path in the DB. You will need to do this manually either in cpanel>>phpmyadmin or locally in your SQL dump. The table to edit is tableprefix_config (tableprefix_ is whatever prefix you assigned to the tables, default is phpbb_).

The fields to edit are:
config_name = server_name
and
config_name = script_path

Change the config_value of these two to match your new server conditions.

Example: if you have www.mynewsite.com/mynewpath/ then change the config_value of server_name to www.mynewsite.com and the config_value of script_path to /mynewpath/
