Changed URL broke forums help!

[Cjk75]

I changed dns entries so i have a new URL. I cant login to phpbb3 to change settings as the ssl cert is on the new URL but the board tries to login using the old. Where can I change settings without being able to access the acl?

Run this SQL, change the prefix phpbb_ if yours is different.

Code: Select all

UPDATE `phpbb_config` SET `config_value` = '0' WHERE `phpbb_config`.`config_name` = 'force_server_vars'; 

Afterward you may also have to manually delete the contents of cache folder except .htaccess and index.htm.

I had to go through the config table and change the url in each field. But it works now.Thank you!
