I can't turn my vbulletin back on?!

[funinthesun]

My forum has just undergone a server move but when I try to turn my forum back on, the page just refreshes and my forum is still closed. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

[TTG]

Check the cookie settings in admincp

[funinthesun]

Can you tell me what I should be looking for? It all seems to look ok.

[Dismounted]

Did you change your domain?

[funinthesun]

No, the domain is still the same.

[Dismounted]

Try clearing your browser & cookie cache.

[funinthesun]

OK, I did that but it still doesn't work.

[Dismounted]

Did you change anything else besides moving server? Did you upload all the files?

[funinthesun]

No, I haven't changed anything else and I believe all the files were uploaded but I paid a vb.org member to do the server move for me.

[Dismounted]

I can't seem to pinpoint your problem. Contact vBulletin Support, they will probably find the issue :).

[funinthesun]

OK, thanks for your help anyway.

I have also just tried to edit a template and also post a new thread and the same thing happens, the page just refreshes with no changes made

Are you sure your DNS is already pointing to the new server?

[snakes1100]

He probably needs to run tools.php and reset his info.

He probably needs to run tools.php and reset his info.
He can access his account already from what I see....

[funinthesun]

Yes, the DNS is pointing to the new server.

No, running tools.php is not the answer as yes, I can access everything else normally. I contacted vbulletin.com team and after a number of things to try, one of them was to add a piece of code to the .htaccess file which was: <IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule> incase anyone else has a problem like mine in the future. It has something to do with mod_security.

Anyway, after I did that, I was able to switch my forum back on but I now have about 10 different database errors, one of which being: mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
/home/******/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 274

Does anyone know what this error is and how I can fix it?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

This error means either:
1. The info in your config.php file is wrong (in which case your forums wouldn't work at all), or
2. MySQL crashed, it's not running or it can't find the socket. You need to contact your host about this. Here is more info on this error:

Yes, i understand that, but tools.php will typically clear up that issue as well, if its actually related to the DB.
