Ok, so I tried this on my forum. When I imported it over to the new server. The domain name is trying to ad a /localhost/ into the address bar after the server IP address. So this didn't work for me either. I guess I need to do another export with the normal/working settings of the live site. The upload tools.php and manually update them there?
