Can I Change My domain Address Using The Old Database

[raviteja]

Hello Sir/madam

i was having hxxp:certworld.co.cc [nonactive] and i have 59 members in my forum and two days ago my forum started giving http 500 internal server error so i tried all the way but it didn't work so i decided to reset my domain name i just deleted my domain when i turned back to re-register my domain the domain provider asking me 3 dollars to register the same domain

so i decided to go with the new domain and i registered a new domain called hxxp:techcert.co.cc [nonactive] and i have all files and databases of hxxp:certworld.co.cc [nonactive] i installed smf in hxxp:techcert.co.cc [nonactive] and i have copied settings.php and settings_bak.php files from hxxp:certworld.co.cc [nonactive] to hxxp:techcert.co.cc [nonactive] and  i can see all the posts which was in certworld but because of my bad luck i cannot use any links or login information nothing every link or thread going in the way of hxxp:certworld.co.cc [nonactive] such as hxxp:certworld.co.cc/index.php [nonactive]

Here Is My Request is Can i change my hxxp:certworld.co.cc [nonactive] database to hxxp:techcert.co.cc [nonactive] so i can avoid re-registering Users and re-posting please advise me any trick and remember i am not advanced user is php or in sql server database

Thanks in advance

Good to see you solved it. 

For future reference, you can use rapair_settings to fix your settings.

What is repair_settings.php?
