bubba_nuts Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 Let's say that today I create a message board in my webspace. Now say I upgrade my Silver Hosting account to a reseller account. Is it possible to move that message board to a new domain that I create in my reseller account? What made TCH choose Invision over phpBB? What advantages does it have? I've used phpBB in the past, and like it well enough, but is there anything about Invision that would make it worth the hassle of installing? (Comparatively speaking, of course.) Thanks! Quote
SEO Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 I am not the person to answer the first question, although I bet you will like the answer. As for the second serious of questions, try this thread. Quote
Lianna Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 Moving a message board, either phpBB or Invision, is no big deal, but may take some finesse. From a shared hosting perspective, the db prefix is the cpanel username for the domain. So, if you want to move the db/board to another domain with a different username, you will need to do some modifying/debugging. But overall, the move should be quite painless. I will try the move myself tomorrow and try to remember to udate here the results and any difficulties. Lianna Quote
bubba_nuts Posted March 16, 2003 Author Posted March 16, 2003 Thanks! I'm still curious about why TCH chose Invision, though. Quote
KevinW Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 Invision is being used simply because the Head Guru likes it! To read more of his comments, click here. -kw Quote
baseline Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 for phpbb in cpanel (origin), just go to backup and backup the database that the forum is using then restore it in the same 'backup' screen on the new cpanel (destination) copy all files in the forum dir to the new host edit config.php and change the db, username, and password. chmod any files u may need to chmod for security the end.

bubba_nuts Posted March 19, 2003 Author Posted March 19, 2003 So I successfully installed phpBB on my site. Why is version 2.0.2 installed, rather than the newer phpBB 2.0.4? It was fairly painless to do the upgrade myself, but still... Quote
Lianna Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 The phpbb install is provided via cPanel. So whatever version they have included in their package is what we have installed. Lianna Quote
