Re: Changing the Forum URL

Hi there,

I currently have two sites:

1. An Enjin site which I need to point to my local domain.

2. An installation of SMF (2.0.7) on my local domain.

I contacted my host about pointing the domain and they said they would set up a sub-domain for the forums. They gave me a new URL and told me that I have to replace the existing directory in the SMF Admin panel to the one provided. I think I see where I'm supposed to change it, and I have made/downloaded a backup of my forums, but I'm uncertain and nervous about changing the URL without double checking as I don't want to corrupt all the work that I've done and have to start over! I'm currently in the Admin panel looking at "Server Settings" where I see:

Forum URL

SMF Directory

Sources Directory

Cache Directory

Are these the URLS I need to replace? They specifically told me that there's nothing that'd need to be changed on the cPanel side as the files would stay in the same folder.

I would just need to change the forum back end to start using the new URL. Apparently, Admin > Theme Settings > Then update the theme URLS and directories. Save

I was then told to run the repair script: http://ift.tt/QZaGyw

I know this may sound really easy to all of you, but I'm not very familiar with this kind of thing and would appreciate any advice, warnings, links to existing posts that I've missed, etc.
