MyBB Community Forums

Ok I recently switched servers so I backed everything up, anyway I uploaded my database on and my "forum" folder onto the server and their is url change anyway I want people to go here
http://mgsweb.domains-less.net/forum however all the links at the top lead to my old server http://mgsweb.webmanagemail.com/forum, take a look here http://mgsweb.domains-less.net/forum I need to change all the lniks and stuff so it lniks to http://mgsweb.domains-less.net/forum/whatever, how do i do this help me!

First, make sure settings.php is CHMOD'd 777 again on the new server. Then go to http://mgsweb.domains-less.net/forum/admin/, login with you details and go to Board Settings > General Configuration, and edit the following

board url -> http://mgsweb.domains-less.net/forum
cookie domain -> .mgsweb.domains-less.net
cookie path -> /forum/

Nope , tried it but it ain't workin.

im gettin this error

Its definetely 777

Did you move the files yourself?

If not, then it could be a Unix user/group problem where if the files were moved by your host automatically they are not assigned to a user or group which have permissionto write to them (though 777 should allow the "world" to write to them).

If you moved/uploaded the files yourself then the only thing I suggest is that you tripple check the permissions and if that doesn't work get your host to take a look at the ownership of files/folders on your website to see if their users and groups are valid.

Will the permissions for config.php have anything to do with it

nope. They only need to be written once. Then they can be set back to the original setting. Settings.php has to remain writable though!
