switching servers - problems changing URL prefix

[ericgray]

so, i switched over to hostgator, and they copied the php files over to me, and then the database.

after much problems getting the 470mb datatabase transferred, it worked. then came the vbulletin files.

they finally worked, and we got the config file changed.

now, the problem is changing the URL pre-fix. i can't log on, nor can anyone -- we keep getting looped back to the login screen. not allowing me to log on as admin disallows me to change the URL prefix.

any suggestions on this? hostagator suggested to go through all the tables and update the url prefixes, but i thought there must be something easier and more effective than that.

here's the dysfunctional site --

Please upload tools.php from the 'do_not_upload' folder of your vBulletin distribution to your admincp directory. Now point your browser to admincp/tools.php.

Reset the cookie Domain and Path to the default values.

Once your problem is fixed please remove tools.php again from the server.

If this does not solve your problems, please clear your browser cookies and cache, restart your browser and try again.
