the https shouldnt cause a issue, if you enter it and then get redirected to a non https add., then that would cause a issue.

the main thing to look at is the fact your trying to use a url on a server with no site assigned to it, so use the ip or servername instead.

what you need to do actually is NOT install a new setup, you simply need to transfer your current site to the new server.

1. close board
2. dump db
3. tar up current working forums dir
4. ftp it all over to new server
5. setup new db & user perms on server & import db
6. untar file backup to new directory.
7. fix config.php on new server
8. access it via ip
