SMF Support > Install and Upgrade Help

[Unknown] Help!! I'm have a question about domains..

(1/8) > >>

Jazhawk:
I suppose I was too tired last night to be thinking about this but I had a hard time figuring this one out. 

I'm moving my members to my new host this week (Ipowerweb.com) which means basically moving the DNS addy.  Ipowerweb set up a temporary name for me to upload things to which begins with host137.ipowerweb.com/~domainname etc.

My SMF was installed at host137.ipowerweb.com/~domainname and it works. This week I plan to effect the DNS transfer to the new host which will make my domain www.domainname.com/SMF/ you get my point.

Am I going to have to redo everything or can I edit a few files to fix it?  Anyone can answer this if you can help.

All of the url's are in Settings.php, just open Settings.php and change the url's in there to the new ones simple as that. :)

Jazhawk:
Cool.  I was having nightmares about it. (well not really but I was more than conserned.) :)  I guess I was mainly worried about the database.

There... umm, actually are URLs in the database.

The themes table, to be exact.  You'll need to run this query:

SELECT *
FROM prefix_themes
WHERE variable = 'theme_url'
   OR variable = 'images_url';

And edit those URLs.

Sounds simple enough.  Looks like some query stuff.  Where do I run that?  On my host or can he be run in the admin section of my board?
