Phpbb Referencing Old Parked Domains

[EpochsEnd]

i installed my phpbb when i was using my old domain, now i got a new domain parked on top of the old. But when you type in the location to the phpbb using the new domain as the root, it automatically changes the old domain to the new one and runs off the old domain, links and all.

 

I tried backing up, deleting, then re-installing the forum. But it STILL references the old domain.

 

If you don't know what i'm trying to say, i originally worked off of www.epochsend.com. Then I got my new domain www.pinesofrome.net. When I type in www.pinesofrome.net/forum, it goes to the forum, but not after changing it to www.epochsend.com/forum. Then when i click on links to certain topics in the forum, it displays them as

 

"http://www.epochsend.com/forum/topic>?bladdyblablalba"

 

not

 

"http://www.pinesofrome.net/forum/topic@#%alkevasdfjkalkejf"

 

I thought a re-installing would fix it. do you know what i can do to fix this? I don't really even want my old domain. would deleting that help?

 

thanks a lot

Go to admin panel, settings, and change site URL to the new domain there, I think this should fix your problem.

 

Hope this helps

unfortunately, it doesn't. I tried that first. Then, I tried deleting the forum, the re-installing it, and it still didn't work.

 

Thats why i'm thinking it may have something to do with more than just the phpbb.

What do you have in .htaccess? maybe it's configured to forward all new domain requests to old domain?

[EpochsEnd]

the .htaccess in the cache directory? all it says is:

 

<Limit GET POST PUT>

Order Allow,Deny

Deny from All

</Limit>

[Ayman]

Most likely it's .htaccess in public_html or public_html/forum.

 

Anyway, I went to www.pinesofrome.net/forum, and www.epochsend.com/forum, and either way, domain stayed the same no matter how many links I clicked or how deep I went into the forums, so I couldn't reproduce the problem.

 

There are no forwards that I could find on your site, and forum links are relative and don't reference the site domain.

 

Am I missiing something? Would you please post a more specific example of the problem?

[EpochsEnd]

hmm... could this problem just be on my computer?

 

how did you make it to www.pinesofrome.net/forum?

 

whenever i open up a new browser window, and type that in, it looks for the site, finds it, changes the address bar to www.epochsend.com/forum as it loads the page.

 

from then on, when you hover over a link, at the bottom it says "www.epochsend.com/forum/blahblahblahblah"

 

so for me, I could never get to www.pinesofrome.net/forum

Now I've noticed something, when I add a slash to the end of the URL, I'm not forwarded.

http://www.pinesofrome.net/forum/

 

I suggest you open a ticket and ask support to change the main domain for you, and park the old one instead.
