I am moving my domain from old to new.
how to do it?

I uploaded the old db into new one. But now the new domain is redirecting to old one.

you should've edited the forum url to the new url from the admincp settings before moving..

you need to upload the file tools.php from the folder do_not_upload to the install folder on your forum's FTP, then run it http://yourforum.com/install/tools.php, you'll be able to clear the cookie path and other stuff that should get your forum working there.

I still hav access to old forum. So now can I edit the url , back up and then restore(import) to new domain?
later after everything is ok. I will delete the old domain

if you already moved the databae and ftp files just do what i said, it's a lot easier..

you just need to upload that single file to your FTP where i mentioned and run the toold that you require, you'll get your forum working on the new domain in a few mins.

I din move the old files(since I had 4.1.3 version in old domain)
I simply installed the new version in new domain and restored the db. It went wrong.

---------------------------
Now I changed the domain name in the old domain via ACP, backed up db , Installed a fresh copy . Can I restore the DB (which has changed url) ?
