Topic: Base URL

I have set my base URL on http://domain/forum, but it's wrong, I think it should be http://domainl/filesharing/forum/ (I am stupid, I know), but I can't change it via Admin/optiosn. Is there any way to change it?

Re: Base URL

You should be able to change it via admin/options. Do you get an error message or what?

Yes, Bad HTTP_REFERER. You were referred to this page from an unauthorized source. Please go back and try again. If the problem persists please make sure that 'Base URL' is correctly set in Admin/Options and that you are visiting the forum by navigating to that URL.

So I must change my Bae URL to change my Base URL wink

Re: Base URL

What the hell!? I just double-checked and there is no call to confirm_referer() in admin_options.php, so you should never get that message when updating the options. What version of PunBB are you using?

Re: Base URL

I just figured you had read this topic. However, it still shouldn't display that message when updating the form in admin_options.php. I wonder what's wrong :/

Re: Base URL

I was having the same problem.  Turned Norton off.  Disconnected internet connection from router and plugged directly into outlet.  etc etc

Then I found this post ( http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2295 ) by Clay and everything worked smoothly.

Basically all I did was to get rid of the www in the base url [Admin/Options/].

e.g.

won't work =  http://www.mysite.com/forum
will work =  http://mysite.com/forum

Now we're happy ; )
