Moving an SMF forum......
Blah blah:
What exactly is involved in moving a forum to a new URL? I mean the whole 9 yards, permissions, boards, posts, members, mods, etc.
To be specific I want to move my SMF forum to newsite.com/forum from oldsite.com/index.php
Im not changing hosts and the new site is already in my account directory.
Oldiesmann:
Move all the files to the new folder, then run repair_settings.php (under "Tools" on the downloads page) to update the URLs and paths as needed. See What is repair_settings.php? for more info.
Blah blah:
Thanks!
So wow thats it? no need to re-install SMF or anything? I guess I figured it would be more difficult than a file transfer and script.
Illori:
that is assuming you can still connect to the same database in the new location

What would prevent that? I am on the same host in the same account.
Couldn't I just move the database?
