I had intended on shutting my forum down due to lack af members, and ativicty, may have 5 or 6 posting sometimes..

But I have decided to keep it open.

It is SMF 2.1 I wish to change the name, I have a new domain name for it..  What is the procedure for all the changes need to be made? Where do I start?

First, you have to go to your domain's registar (godaddy, namecheap, etc.) and point the domain to your server's nameservers...ns1, ns2, etc.

Then, you have to upload repair_settings.php (link below) from SMF to your root forum's folder and run it in a browser to change your forum's settings.

Nameservers are the same, Just want to change the forum name as well as all the links.

Thanks

Did it work for you?

Do it later tonight.

The new name seniorforums.ca should I add this as a addon domain in the cpanel

Nope didn't work for me, I always have a problem with trying repair settings and the other things.

But it did work for bigguy, he knows what he's doing.. He got it all changed over and running.

All I had to do was delete the repair settings from the cpanel

Okey, doeky!

Marked as solved.
