Moving phpBB to a New Domain [SOLVED!]

Post by Swifthawk »

Hello, all! I'm new here. I hope this post is appropriate and in the right place. Please correct me if not.

I just learned a thing about moving a phpBB 3.3 installation to a different domain that's not in the Knowledge Base article about it, and I wanted to offer my input to help others. I'm referring to this article:
https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... or-domain/

The problem I had was that after I followed the article step by step and successfully moved (copied) my phpBB install to the new domain, it kept redirecting to the old domain on login. :(

The solution was to empty the /cache folder. :) I didn't see this in that article, but I did find it elsewhere, and I'm wondering if it should be added. :?

I was actually setting up a copy of my phpBB install on my local server for development and messing around purposes. :D

If anyone needs help with this or anything at all, please feel free to ask me. :)
