Need to migrate from old server to new server + URL change to my forum

[iadzemovic]

Hi all - I figured I better post here just to make sure I'm following protocol. I need to switch servers due to performance issues. I'm aware I must export database and import it over etc. I'm keeping the same domain name, however - I need to move the forum to the "main" state (domain.com) instead of domain.com/forum.

How can I avoid errors to accomplish above?

I'm currently getting a 500 server error:

We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now.

Access denied for user 'u137424613_sube_inb'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

That means the forum can't connect to the mysql database. Possible causes:

1. The user is wrong.
2. The password is wrong.
3. The user doesn't have the needed permissions for the database.

 

For #1 and #2 you can edit the conf_global.php file. For #3 you need to check your server, something like Cpanel, DirectAdmin, or whatever else you use.

The host confirmed the permissions - they are all checked. And I edited the conf_global.php too with the new database details.

When I run /admin - it shows fatal error:

This is a problem with the credentials. Make sure you’re not supposed to use “localhost” instead of 127.0.0.1 as the server. At the end of the day, if you see permission denied, it’s a server problem and not a software problem. You need to confirm your settings with your hosting provider.

Got it. Submitted support ticket and it appears to have resolved itself. Thanks!

Now, however, it's complaining that the license key is not valid and it doesn't let me edit?
