Stan Jensen Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I tried this before and it failed. I believe I have to do three things 1- change the domain name here on my account 2- have the host point the new domain name to the site on the vps, and have the same DNS at the domain name host. 3- Change some preferences on my forum to the new domain name, not sure where that it is but should be able to find preferences. Am I missing anything else? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Jensen Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 ok. am trying to follow this. I have ADD so it is difficult for me I go the change the domain URL it seems like I have to delete my installation first? =that cant be right , can it? - - - - copy and paste - - - There seems to still be an installation of Invision Community at the URL on file. Before you can change the URL, you must first remove the existing installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Just make it inaccessible for two minutes. For example, password protect the site or just rename index.php long enough for the check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Marc Stridgen Posted February 23, 2023 Solution Share Posted February 23, 2023 You have to ensure theree is no redirection to that URL. If you are having problems, drop me a PM with the old and new location. Im sure we can sort it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Stridgen Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 The issue on your site is that your server is redirecting it elsewhere, and you have no SSL certificate in place for that location. You need to contact your hosting company on these issues. SeNioR- and Stan Jensen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
