I am still having major problems with my forum - now, anyone with BT Internet cant seem to get onto the site - and BT are thus blaming the site!!?? Really not sure what to do about this.
Anyway - I want to move my forum to a sub-domain. What's the best way to do this please. I am stumped....
Thanks
Wakie :)
The only consistently reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeout errors and an incomplete backup file.
Please see the instructions here:
Backup:

Restore:

If you don't have telnet or SSH access, some people have reported success with these scripts:
MySQLDumper:

1. There is nothing we can do about this. That is a BT Internet issue.
2. You would have to physically move your vB files to the new subdomain directory. Then you need to set the correct forum URL here:
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details -> Forum URL
And in the Members Area under 'License Options':
http://www.vbulletin.com/members/
3. Sorry, I have no idea what you mean:
if I want to split my forum to a new host (keep my website where it is)....how does that work please????
I just want to know how to split the forum from my website? Its probably very simple - just cant get my head around it...thanks
I upgraded my forum to the latest version.
Set up a new database for it at the new host end.
Saved and uploaded my .sql backup file
Sent a version of 3.7.2 over to them as they said they would install a new version
When they come to restore the database though they keep getting an error. I did ask for a copy of this error to show you as they suggested I contact you but they didnt tell me the message
Any ideas as to what is happening - this has taken since yesterday. Rather a long time methinks....
Any suggestions most welcome
I had started another thread and someone suggested downloading my entire db file and then sending the new host that - so I am doing that at the moment....its taking AGES
Any ideas guys?
