Full Version: Switching my domain.
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello, a while ago my website was defaced and it still exists today -

http://uzi-gaming.com/

The account I hosted on is now suspended due to inactivity, I thought I'd create a new website instead. Anyway, I still have the domain and was wondering if I could possibly somehow transfer that domain onto my newer website which I only created a month ago.

Would appreciate some assistance, thank you.
Edit inc/config.php / inc/settings.php
And edit general configurations url.

It's that simple? I remember having to go through my cPanel and accessing my GoDaddy account which I bought my website domain with to configure it.
that's advance..
OK..

1> backup all server files, database.
2> Change your domain's name server @ Godaddy if you're hosted their.
3> Upload all backup files to your new server
4> Create a database, upload the database
5> Edit inc/config.php / inc/settings.php
6> And edit general configurations url.
don't put manually new settings in "inc\settings.php", it's a system generated file...

What I usually do to testing my forum in LAMPP is make settings.php blank

<?php
/*********************************\ 
  DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, PLEASE USE
  THE SETTINGS EDITOR
\*********************************/

?>

Then in PHPMyadmin I change the values meeting my forum URL to "http://localhost/forum" in mybb_settings table

When you login at AdminCP and save the "General Options" the file settings.php will be generated again correctly
