planetphillip Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Hi, I'm considering buying a new domain name and having it hosted here a TCH. I need to move a phpbb 2.0.6 board from one of my other sites to here. Would somebody be kind enough to explain how I would go about it? TIA Phillip www.planetphillip.com Quote
DarqFlare Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Basically, you would create a backup of your database, transfer the files over to your new TCH account from your old website, and import the database backup. Once that is done, you'd have to edit the phpBB configuration file to edit the website changes (New domain name, paths, etc). Quote
planetphillip Posted February 4, 2004 Author Posted February 4, 2004 Thanks for your reply. My current forum is running 2.0.6 and I looked on you site for information about which version you guys are running, but couldn't find it. So, which version are you guys running? If it's not 2.0.6, will it cause a problem? TIA Quote
Qinau Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Hi planetphillip, I just installed the default PhpBB from CPanel today and it's version 2.06. I don't imagine you'll have any trouble converting across. Cheers Quote
planetphillip Posted February 5, 2004 Author Posted February 5, 2004 I did it yesterday and it went very smoothly. I just need to figure out which files to edit. Quote
DarqFlare Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 In the base folder, there should be something like "config.php" Try it. Quote
planetphillip Posted February 5, 2004 Author Posted February 5, 2004 I just needed to change the Server and Path info in the config table not php file. Thanks for your help. Quote
Qinau Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 Great to hear it worked out Thumbs Up Cheers Quote
