transfer of phpbb forum

truespeed

when you transfer a phpbb forum from one domain to another ,which tables do you NOT upload,i have moved a phpbb forum,i created a database,installed phpbb ,dropped all the tables,and imported the tables from my forum from the other domain.

Everything is there,but when i login in it takes me back to my old domain,,so im guessing, in some of the tables there are still references to the other domain.

So what tables do i need to drop?

(hope all that makes sense)

Okay, I'm assuming you're using phpMyAdmin to manage your database. Find the table phpbb_config (you may have renamed the prefix, but the end will be _config). Look through it until you find the articles server_name and script_path. Server_name is the domain name of your site, script_path is the subfolder/directory of that domain to get to the forum. Just edit those to the correct values for the new domain and you should be okay.

Hope this was clear and helpful Very Happy
