Site path incorrect

[janderson]

So - yesterday we adjusted the URL that our forums worked off of from :
CDJW.org/forums
to
forums.cdjw.org
(Created a subdomain with our host)

and while the original URL still worked, we logged into the admin panel and adjust the site url. All appeared to be working but now we get a very broken page when we visit and cannot login. Looks like something is wrong with the path that was updated???

Anyone have any advice on how to update/check the site path without having access to admincp?

Check if the .htaccess file is the root of your forum … forums.cdjw.org

This is what it has:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On

	# In some cases where you have other mod_rewrite rules, you may need to remove the 
	# comment on the following RewriteBase line and change it to match your folder name. 
	# This resets the other mod_rewrite rules for just this directory
	# If your site was www.example.com/forum, the setting would be /forum/
	#RewriteBase /

	#To redirect users to the secure version of your site, uncomment the lines below 
	#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
	#RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

	# Send css calls directly to the correct file VBV-7807
	RewriteRule ^css.php$ core/css.php [NC,L]

	# Redirect old install path to core.
	RewriteRule ^install/ core/install/ [NC,L]

	# Main Redirect
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|css)$
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]

	# Because admincp is an actual directory.
	RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]

Thank you for your help, really appreciate you. One last thing - so, the forums appear to be working but when you login (with correct creds) it sort of just, reloads the page and doesnt log you in.. If you use incorrect creds it acts as it should. Any advice?

[janderson]

All solved. Thanks again.
