challenging phpbb problem, need expert assistance
okay, i've run into an interesting problem with phpbb
here's what happened.
i wanted to transfer my phpbb forum to a new server with a diff url and everything
so, i installed the new forum on the new server and imported my old database...
THEN.....
i got the killer problem.
when i restored the database for the forum, it loaded the old configuration settings for the old forum and among those things it loaded was the old domain name and old script path.
so, when i try to log into the new forum, it automatically redirects me to the url where the old forum was located.
basically, because of that, i'm unable to log into the forum at its new location because the login keeps on redirecting me back to the old site.
does anybody know of a method for me to change the domain name and script path of the forum at its new location without going through the phpbb admin control panel?
i'm guessing that i will need to either manually edit mysql tables (which i can do through phpmyadmin) or manually edit some of the php files which i can also do.
if anybody can offer assistance on this problem, i'll really appreciate it.
