I cant understand why its hard to move this: http://www.tioglyt.dk/forum/ to http://www.tioglyt.dk

I mean.. .there must be some guideline. Now I know I need to change som settings within forum configuation, but I guess IÃ,´m too stupid to know what to do... cause I tried to change the SMF map, but no luck

The reason you need to use the Repair Settings .php file is to relink all the hyperlinks on your site. It can't do it by magic, but you can do it using Repair Settings... Basically, you are moving house and your site does not know the new address.

You can't move the directory around willy nilly. Using the Repair Settings will reindex the site.

Okay... thank you Zetan, I uploaded the repair_settings.php to the forum folder, so when I entered the admin it said error... and that I hadnÃ,´t removed the repair_settings.php. I actually donÃ,´t know what to do after uploading the file?


maclane

Wow... I just noticed you are the lab radio guy. Gotto tell you.. IÃ,´m really impressed by your site.. that player and all... is really something I would like to implement on mine ;O)

That is a security feature.. when you have run the repair, you MUST delete the file again from your server!

read this:
QuoteThe tool repair_settings.php is a tool to be used to repair some of the more crucial settings for your forum. Simply upload the file to your forum's folder, and navigate your browser to:

http://www.example.com/forum/repair_settings.php
(where www.example.com/forum is your forum's URL.)

It can change maintenance mode, database-driven sessions, your default forum language, your cookie name, the format of URLs ("index.php/topic,1.0.html" vs. "index.php?topic=1.0"), your database connection information, and most importantly your URLs and paths.

Please note that if you installed SMF earlier than version 1.0 RC1, you will probably need to use this tool to restore your forum to working condition after changing servers or domains. For versions 1.0 RC1 and later, these changes should be automatically detected and fixed.

You may also need to use this file if you change one of the above settings, and your forum stops working properly. While this should not happen often, it is possible, which again is why this tool is provided.

/!\ Don't forget to delete this tool from your FTP after you used it.
