So I have been working with my website hosting company to change my websites domain but it seems there is a conflict between the old and the new. See the domain is changed on every page but the data is not found, most likely because the site is still looking for the data on the old domain. And both domains open the same stuff, wtf!
I have changed the main settings to say that the new domain is my sites url but it still can't find any threads/posts, just the main pages of the forum. When I try to log in, it says I have successfully logged in but when it redirects me to the portal I am logged out upon loading the page.
old domain:
http://mcinformer.h4p.co/
new domain:
http://gamergoto.net/
How do I change everything so I have my forum is working solely with my new domain?
it appears to be working normal - clear your browser cookies and try again !! if you still have a problem then post a test user account ..
No, it actually doesn't work, at least not for me. I still get errors when trying to view threads and I can't log in. I would make a test account but, as I said, I can't log in.
open inc>settings.php
change:
$settings['bburl'] = "your_full_url_to_forum";
ie:
http://www.mywebsite.com/MyForumFolder
change:
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".your_website_url";
ie: .your_full_url.com"; (do not use http:// or www. at the beginning!)
change:
$settings['cookiepath'] = "/forum/";
ie: "/your forum folder/";
open inc>config.php
change:
$config['database']['database'] = 'Your Database_Name';
$config['database']['username'] = 'database_username';
$config['database']['password'] = 'database password';
chances are its your cookie path is incoreect if its not letting you log in, i had same prob & that was the cause so make sure the path is correct
also once done clear your cache from your browsers & goto windows/start/run & type cmd in the run box.
then in the command prompt type:
ipconfig/flushdns

Log-in problem - as tizdaz said - is because of bad cookies address:
http://YOUR FORUM ADDRESS/admin/index.php?module=config
-> General Configuration -> Cookie Domain & Cookie Path
@tizdaz
I've the same problem: link of sub-forums/threads/posts don't work. If I try to open a thread, I get this error:
404 Not Found
The resource requested could not be found on this server!

I checked, everything is correct!
I was using a sub-domain(e.g.
http://abs.***.com) on my forum, I changed it to non-subdomain address (e.g.
http://***.com/abc, where abc is the folder name of mybb content) and now accessing to threads & posts & subforums is denied!
