Full Version: How can I change the address of my forum?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I was previously using a free domain (dchiuch.co.cc), which would redirect to my free host (http://dchiuch.byethost32.com). Now, when I set up MyBB, I was foolish and typed in dchiuch.co.cc as the address... this is now unavailable to me. How can I change the MyBB address to the correct one?

I should add that due to dchiuch.co.cc not working anymore, I cannot access the Admin CP.

Thanks.
Well, I don't know if there is a better solution. I had the same problem by the way with a .co.nr domain. CSS didn't load but I could still access the board and the ACP. Anyway, obviously your board is brand new and there are no posts or members so why don't you simply re-install? It's easier and faster. Otherwise, you might want to wait for another response but I am not sure that there is another solution...

It's not obviously brand new, there's about 200 posts... (I know, not much, but I'd rather not lose it)
Well, sorry about that. I thought you made the .co.cc when you had just started the forum.

Anyway, I hope you may get help from any developers or experienced users. I don't know another solution though, at the moment.

Good Luck!

That's okay. Anyone have any ideas? I could reinstall the forum, but how can I backup my members and posts and such without using the Admin CP?
Never mind, I solved it using this guide: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-27771.html
You can use PHPMyAdmin to do a database backup.
If you have access to phpmyadmin, open the settings table, and search it for domain a, and then do a replace in it with domain b.

Then do the same in inc/settings.php
