MyBB Community Forums

I did a first test install of MyBB on a server with one of my Hosting sites and everything went fine. I even added some styles and played around with it, happiness.

OK, then I installed it on a different host exactly the same, but I get a rights error when I click on Add a new style in the Admin section. So, what I want to do it zip up the install on my first host where everything ran fine, which I did and move it to the second host server, but aha . . . the database has a different name and login etc. I can't even get into the admin, with the database info wrong, so I need to find the file that holds that info to change the database name etc?

I could just use a text editor or Dreamweaver if it's a PHP file. Is there a config file somewhere, help . . . and thanks

Install a new copy again. it shall work fine

Else:
1. ./inc/settings.php
2. ./inc/config.php

Yea . . . I found the config.php file and changed the database, although it used the Admin ID I used for the second Host, strange. But, I got in there and when I hit anything about Styles in Admin I get a rights issue with index.php. And that is strange cause I had to use that file just to get into to admin with no error.

This host is Hostgator and the guy said it is strange, but said I should enter a ticket explaining the issue and they will escalate it to the php Admins. They are fast, so we'll see what they find.

I will install a fresh install so when it is figured out, I won't be using the copy from the first host . . . thanks

I contacted "Support" and they fixed it fast . . . Same issue as your shortcut took me to.

Hello,
It appears that something on the import a theme page was hitting one of our mod_security rules, which I have since whitelisted for your domain. You should now be able to access this part of your site without getting the 403 Forbidden error again.
