More information:
I un-installed and then re-installed and got rid of the previous databse settings and one of the MAJOR issues is at the end it asks for the complete url of the z directory so I put in forum/z/ with trailing slash and everything sort of works but I notice that it atomatically starts out as https: so I take out the s of the https, thinking that this will fix my pages not found with the blog and profile links on the nav-bar and no go... still doesn't work
Also in the admin some of the images aren't being displayed because it is looking for
https://www.MySite.com/forum/images/misc/image.gif Just the images in vBulletin such as the logo in the head section and the header. since i fixed the s in the http line all the images in Zoints Admin itself now work but not the others. Is the https hardcoded in some of the files?
Any advice would be great.
