Can't Log in after URL change

Post by DeadlineEm »

So, I was building my site so i was using a .ga (from freenom) url, I paid for a .com and added it to my hosting, removed the freenom URL and made the .com my main site.

I went to my phpbb installer and noticed it had an update, so i changed the URL to the new URL and hit update. Now, the forum loads, but i cant log in because the acp redirects me to the .ga url instead of the .com.

Did you change cookie settings and server settings?
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Edit: I found the settings in the database, cookie_domain & server_name, changed to the new URL and that fixed it, Thanks!!

Using phpMyAdmin you could even change values manually (also for server URL settings).
