changed of forum location
 
vb 5.1.9

I am moving the forums to a new location, same serever so database is not being moved

going from

www.ez-forums.com

to

www.selfhelpwithmore.com/ez-forums/

There should be no re-install / upgrade routine required, just a re-upload of files to new location

Now my questions are...

.htaccess file

since there is already one in the root directory of site, can a 2nd one be in the ez-forums directory as vb5 has one, anything need to be modified in it.

what else needs to be changed / updated?

Since your files will be in the /ez-forums directory, you will need to change this line in your .htaccess file:

#RewriteBase /

to this line:

RewriteBase /ez-forums/

Also, make sure you change the URL in AdminCP > Settings > Options > Site Name/URL/etc BEFORE making the database backup that you will be using at the new URL.

Thank you, it is the same server so the config should be the same. The database does not move. but will change the settings before. I will leave the vb5 ,htaccess in the ez-forums directory with the change edit you indicated,

--------------- Added [DATE]1444020845[/DATE] at [TIME]1444020845[/TIME] ---------------

did what you said and did the transition. One issue is the site logo does not show and I cannot change it, tried to upload new logo, and it still does not appear

--------------- Added [DATE]1444021569[/DATE] at [TIME]1444021569[/TIME] ---------------

also after logging in and then clicking on a forum I am no longer logged in

--------------- Added [DATE]1444022320[/DATE] at [TIME]1444022320[/TIME] ---------------

The logging in issue may be a catching directive issue in the .htaccess file on the root, still checking, but still have the issue with the site logo

--------------- Added [DATE]1444024785[/DATE] at [TIME]1444024785[/TIME] ---------------

got around the logo issue by editing the title image path in the Style Variable Editor

Check AdminCP > Settings > Options > Cookie Settings - what is set for the Cookie Domain? If you allow users to login to your site via both http://www.yoursite.com and just http://yoursite.com, then you MUST have your cookie domain (AdminCP > Settings > Options > Cookies and HTTP Header Options > Cookie Domain) set to ".yoursite.com" (no quotes, but note the period at the beginning) or your users will have problems.
