URL change

[Callum93]

Hey,
I want to change http://admincommunity.com/ipbthree/upload to http://admincommunity.com/forum in IPB3.

Can anyone give me some guidance of how to do this?

I'm sure you can just move the files over to that directory,

But first go into your Admin panel and probably under general settings or whatever change to your new url.

Tried that and it doesn't work. Well, the index page loads, but all the links are still to the old URL.

Looks like you need to do a .htaccess redirect:

Heres a good guide:

Hi Sbfc, I have experience doing this.

Go to your FTP client. Head to your forum's folder. Open "conf_global.php". Find a line like this:

$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://cooljdude.com/

Change your url to the new one. Save, and you're done.
