Hi,

I installed and configured on my local machine.
Afterwards, I installed mybb on the hosting server, copied all files via ftp..
The first screen loads fine (except css), login doesn't work. Several links still point to http://localhost/forum instead of new domain.

I DID change via MySQL admin, in the table mybbs_settings the:
Domain URL
Cookie Path and cookie domain...
But it seems not enough.. which more table(s) and/or files do I need to modify?

If you are just editing settings.php you need to override it in AdminCP in Configuration and remember to CHMOD the correct files.
In inc folder open settings.php and change following lines

Quote:$settings['bburl'] = "<your forum url>";
$settings['cookiepath'] = "";
$settings['cookiedomain'] = "";

Cookies - Mybb Wiki page

If your forum is located in subfolder (mysite.com/forum) then cookie domain is .mysite.com and cookie path is /myforum/ .If your forum is in main root (mysite.com) then cookie domain is .myforum.com and cookie path is / .

Edit: didn't saw Shannons answer.
What you set your board URL as?
settings.php... that was it :-)

Thanks!!!!
