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.
