I suppose I was too tired last night to be thinking about this but I had a hard time figuring this one out. 

I'm moving my members to my new host this week (Ipowerweb.com) which means basically moving the DNS addy.  Ipowerweb set up a temporary name for me to upload things to which begins with host137.ipowerweb.com/~domainname etc.

My SMF was installed at host137.ipowerweb.com/~domainname and it works. This week I plan to effect the DNS transfer to the new host which will make my domain www.domainname.com/SMF/ you get my point.

Am I going to have to redo everything or can I edit a few files to fix it?  Anyone can answer this if you can help.

All of the url's are in Settings.php, just open Settings.php and change the url's in there to the new ones simple as that. :)

Cool.  I was having nightmares about it. (well not really but I was more than conserned.) :)  I guess I was mainly worried about the database.

There... umm, actually are URLs in the database.

The themes table, to be exact.  You'll need to run this query:

SELECT *
FROM prefix_themes
WHERE variable = 'theme_url'
   OR variable = 'images_url';

And edit those URLs.

Sounds simple enough.  Looks like some query stuff.  Where do I run that?  On my host or can he be run in the admin section of my board?

I'm sorry?

http://www.simplemachines.org/download.php?converters

Yes it is, I just tried it with another browser while not even logged in.

Jazhawk

[Unknown].  This link simply isn't working from either of my browsers. 
I haven't tried logging out to see if it works. 

Worth a try I suppose.

If that page won't load for you... (goodness knows why it wouldn't, I even asked someone to check it for me!)

Try this:
http://www.simplemachines.org/download.php?d=repair_paths;t=php

-[Unknown]

All I get is a page that says:

Please put this in the same place as Settings.php!

But nothing else.  Same as the other link.

Maybe you can drop it in my email

Well, of course, the link to the download-page works. Its just the download that doesnt... ;)

[Unknown]

Umm... I just tried it and it was fine for me.

Are you absolutely sure you're putting it in the same place as Settings.php?  So, like it would be this:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/repair_paths.php

-[Unknown]

Jazhawk

Hey [Unknown].  I'm doing exactly that.  Click the link, then click the download link.  Don't know what to tell you about why it doesn't seem to be there.  It just isn't there.

Funny.

Although martp is a regular member, he/she doesn't work for or on SMF. ;)
