How to handle nameserver change when moving

[forum_maniac]

What are all the settings that need to be changed when moving to a new server, and specifically while accessing the new board by IP address only.

I know config.php needs to be adjusted. Is...

Thanks a lot. This sounds like a reasonable approach. I will soon move from GoDaddy Shared Hosting to ASO (A Small Orange) shared hosting...

I am planning to move my board to a new hosting provider. I was wondering what the recommended approach is for handling the nameserver change, specifically the transition period in which some users still...

Is is set to (blank). And logging in does not work. I get back to same main forum page as a guest.

I guess the best thing would be to re-direct to the www domain like vbulletin.com does...

Well when you type in the URL without the www you see the forum, meaning you are on the right page. The system just does not seem to recognize the cookie correctly.

I would like to do a redirect...

When I go to my forum and omit the www in the URL (e.g. "http://example.com/forum") I see the forum as a guest and I am not logged in and also am unable to log in. When I go to the URL with...

Thanks! I ended up adding it to the phrase "registration_complete" which is used after the user confirms his/her e-mail address. I use e-mail verification and some users never make it to that...

Different from 3.0?

Hi Jake,

in a 3.0 forum you recommended putting the script in the registeremail phrase. Is this no longer possible in 3.5.4?

Thanks for the info, but that does not answer my question. I do not need to use the ModCP as I do not use any moderation queues. I use moderators that have additional rights in their respective forums...

I have moderators that manage single forums. I have created them through "Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Add Moderator". I have also renamed their title to "Moderator"....

That is exactly the same problem I had. I could not figure out were it was getting the old paths from. The only thing that helped for me was to delete all smilies (manually in AdminCP) and then recreate...

Thanks, this works....

I want to give my users the option to buy a subscription to view the forum without banner advertising. I have set up a paid subscription in AminCP.

I have banner ads (Google Adsense and some...

I am glad you got it to work. vBulletin rocks and is so much better than phpbb. I have to admit I still have not understood all the functions of vBulleting. I am taking it step by step.

What worked for me in the end was to manually delete all similies and manually re-create the 11 standard vBulletin smilies. You can see the 11 standard smilies on this board for example.

Problem solved

It looks like I have been able to solve the problem. I removed all smilies through AdminCP and re-created all smilies through AdminCP. Now all smilies appear correctly on...

More info

I have some more info. In IE it is possible to see that the "missing" smilies are actually broken image links. I did not see that in FireFox.

The problem...
