MyBB Community Forums

Hey, okay guys. So I've had a free hosting account at byethost for almost a year now. Yesterday I logged into my vista cpanel only to find out that I've exceeded my maximum bandwith or something like that, whatever, and I need to make a paid account. I could not access my admin CP to make a backup of my database.

I made a paid account, and the staff at byethost told me that they successfully migrated my freebie account with my new paid one.

All of my old posts and everything are there, but there are two MAJOR MAJOR problems.

The first is that my theme isn't loading for some very highly strange reason...you can see this for yourself at my website:

http://www.sportsbin.net/forums/index.php

My NEXT problem is that I CANNOT LOG IN WHATSOEVER!! I enter my username and Password and it says I have successfully logged in and it is redirecting me to the forums index, but when I get redirected I am STILL LOGGED OUT. SO I can't change ANYTHING in my admin CP, because I CAN'T ACCESS IT.

Please help as this is VERY URGENT! I NEED to be able to get into my admin CP to change the theme. If that doesn't work, how am I going to be able to fix my forums? STARTING OVER IS NOT AN OPTION!! My members have TOO MUCH INFORMATION made in posts ON THE FORUMS to start over--if I started over and everything disappeared, I would lose a SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MY USERS.

Pleas HELP me!!!

You will have to change your boards URL and probably also your cookies. You can edit them by editing the file inc/settings.php. Also read the pinned threads: http://community.mybb.com/thread-42160.html and http://community.mybb.com/thread-42123.html

PS: talking in caps doesn't help it just distracts me fro helping you,

You can edit the database direct as well as settings.php

what i do when moving is set the old board to the new url before exporting db....much easier

If you edit the database the forum won't use the changes, it uses the values direct from settings.php.

Edit the cookie settings in
../inc/settings.php .

ok......

Okay so I changed all the urls found in settings.php to my new urls. I can FINALLY log in but I get a 404 Not Found Error whenever I try to access my Admin CP and the entire website is still seriously freaking screwed up.

Btw sorry for talking in Caps. I was just really frustrated and was trying to get a point across, haha

Contact your host and ask if your site is added on the whitelist. Also check or .htaccess file.
