Changing location of SMF Forum

I have had to change the domain and location of the SMF forum, and can't see where to tell the forum that the locations are now different.

This is because I have developed it in one place, and now need to move it to the correct place.


I go to the forum in the new location, and see

mysite.com/forum/index.php?action=login2

The page appears, but the CSS is missing, and I am directed to the wrong place.

How can I change the location without using the admin page - which of course is not working.

Just managed to find the SMF Versio, it's SMF 2.0.13,  with php53

You need to download the "Repair Settings" tool and adjust your Paths & URLs to the new locations.

Thanks for your help, but I managed to fix it by "correcting" $boardurl in /Settings.php, and then I could load the admin page (without CSS), and managed to find the entries to change there.

As it wasn't completely correct, I ran the "Repair Settings" tool, but that didn't fix everything for me.

There were various entries in the themes table that still required changing, but having done that, it's all as it should be.

Thanks for your help.
