Moving vbulletin to a new host - the process?

[ATVTorture]

Well I found bburl and cookie domain in the setting table so I updated both of those. However, I still get the same results.

I'm actually able to login to the admin panel and the site now. However, trying to edit templates just gives me an error 403 - Forbidden each time I try to save the template edit.

Any ideas as to what permissions are goofed preventing this access?

Thanks!

Now all of the sudden I can't login to admin again. I login to the forum fine. Admin is back to "thanks for logging in" and it takes me back to a login screen. WTF?!?!?!

Upload tools.php from the do_not_upload directory, and run "Reset Cookie Domain/Path". I believe there is a cache stored, so just editing the settings table would not work.

I uploaded the file previously. However, when I try to open it, I get a blank white page.

How do i resolve that?

Thanks!

Make sure you upload it into the admincp directory.

[ATVTorture]

That is where I have it.

are you getting any other errors besides the white page, or do you have an error log to check to see if the server is throwing an error back to you?

Its strange that tools.php is white, if you've uploaded it a couple times, chances are good it should have worked atleast once...i'd think

Do you have mod security or suoshin or whatever its called enabled on the server?

Well when I looked at the log, I realized the problem. I didn't realize to run tools.php the install fodler had to be in place. So I placed the install folder in the proper place and tools worked. Just not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing with it.

Thanks!

OK, before I was just testing. Tonight I've locked my forum down and my new host is currently importing my DB for me due to the size of it.

Exactly what files or folders do I need to re-upload that could have changed over the last few days since my initial copy over to the new host. I know config files would ahve changed but I would rather just update/upload all folders that may have changed.

My forum is set to have atachments stored in the DB so I don't THINK I have an attachments folder to upload. But you pros tell me. I would rather get too much than too little.

Thanks!
