[Tutorial]: rename your forum directory - 11/28/2002 12:06:38 PM
Our forum security model is tied to the name of the URL. If you would like to change the directory name (or forum URL in general), please do the following:

  • Before changing the directory name:
    • log on as admin
    • go the the admin panel and rename the "Forum URL" to the desired one (under "basic configuration").
  • Use your ftp program to rename the forum directory
  • [2.x version only] type this in your browser's URL box:http://<your-own-new-forum-url>/ini.aspx; and hit "enter"
  • done!

If your forum URL was changed before you had a chance to do what is required (see above message), please do the following:

1) use query analyzer, or any tool that can execute SQL query against the database

2) execute this query: update pgd_config set forumdir = 'http://<your-own-new-forum-url>/'

3) [2.x version only] then, use your browser to load this page: http://<your-own-new-forum-url>/ini.asp(x)
