Topic: Wrong redirect after changing my forum Folder on my Server.

Hi everyone.


I changed the Name of the forum folder on my server. Now, the forum wil redirect the user to the old folder (to the old url). That happens after a post or after changing Admin Funktions or Options. Any time, the forum wil redirect me to the old folder.


What can i do?




PS.: Sorry about my english! hehe

You actually need to edit the base URL in the database to do this wink

update config set conf_value="newsite" where conf_name="o_base_url"

where newsite is your new base URL
That can be run in the textbox of the DB Management plugin
