Forum Unusable after move

[deeptechtons]

Hi let me get straight to the problem:
My Original Test board:

Code Select Expand

http://smf.deeptechtons.net
Was moved to

Code Select Expand

http://forum.deeptechtons.net right 5 min before.
Here are things i tried,
Uploaded the repair_settings.php file and changed the settings. [deleted it later]
Themes and Layout --> Repair Themes as i had custom themes too.
The problem:
The Category Titles haven't changed their URL's
The Buttons Read, Delete Topic also haven't changed the URL's
totally one annoying forumi got now

How did you actually move the files to the Public_HTML/forum?.

I would suggest trying to run repair_settings.php again. Also make sure you clear your BROWSERS cache.

Ok Here seems to be the issue, i have Pretty url's enabled and as the documents says that's my condition.
http://code.google.com/p/prettyurls/wiki/TroubleShooting [nofollow]
The Url's haven't changed.
So a simple update will do Great. I will get back with the success statement

[Matthew K.]

Okay, great! Let us know how it goes.

Well actually move was wrong term. I copied public_html/name/smf/ to public_html/name/forum/ that's it

[Matthew K.]

Yeah, nothing wrong with that.

Hehe and another happy member out in the universe
Solution for people who move boards when they have pretty urls' enabled do this after the steps I did in post 1

Code Select Expand

<?php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php');
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-PrettyUrls.php');
updateSettings(array('pretty_root_url' => $boardurl));
pretty_update_filters();
?>
Paste that code into a file and save it as

Code Select Expand

[any_name].php file and upload it to the board url. Open the file with the browser like typing

Code Select Expand

http://boardURL/[any_name].php delete the file immediately.

Glad to see you got it. Topic resolved? And thanks for sharing your resolution, I'm sure other people will have this issue.

Another important note: Smileys wont load . To load them do this,
Go to Administrative Center--> Click Smileys and Message Icons below
Click Settings --> change the values in the textboxes to reflect new URL and Directory path the forum is changed to that's it
