Running the forum under a different port

I'm running a windows 2000 server, and just installed the forum (successfully) under my default website to see how installation was going, and to check out any problems during installation. Well, i solved all of them except for 1.

I'm running/hosting several domains, and i want to run this forum on a domain that is running under a different port (other then 80). However if i do this, it seems like all themes try to find the images under hxxp:localhost/forum/images [nonactive]. My configuration file is correct, but the environment keeps looking at this location for the themes.

Trying the find a way around this i tried to setup the forum under /localhost/forums/domain1/ but even then the first problems remains. Placing the forum under localhost/forum solves everything, but i do not want to place the forum under another location then the intended domain1.

Question : Is the localhost/forum defaulted somewhere else regarding the Themes ?

Welcome to SMF.

Use repair_settings.php and make sure that the database information is correct. Change the directory paths to the location you want. This is where you have the problem. Save the changes. Delete the repair_settings.php file once you are done. See if that solves the problem.
