Hey All,

I am sure this has maybe been answered before but I do need to ask this again and hopefully get an answer in rather simple terms  Blush

I have setup a forum which I know isnt working to well or displays abit crappy right now at:

http://dblake.user3.archhosting.net/

I would like to change the URL above to: wow-tyrant.uk which I have purchased on gandi.net

What would I need to do this? Is it a case of simply getting the name servers from arch hosting and putting them onto gandi.net?

Or is this something I simply change in the forum settings.php file?

Getting quite confused on how to do this so any help would be great.

Cheers in advance.
after changing the name servers & after domain propagation completes
you would also need to change the board url & cookie settings used for your forum.

first you can change above suggested settings in ~/inc/settings.php file
$settings['bburl'] = "http://wow-tyrant.uk";
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".wow-tyrant.uk";
$settings['cookiepath'] = "/";

then you should be able to login to your forum admin panel
and change again board url & cookie settings to above suggested values
at the Site Details page of Configuration Section in forum admin panel
Many thanks for the guide there Smile

Just need to try find these name servers from my hosting company!
