Holycow forum error

Postby Ron Williams » Fri 01 Jul, 2005 9:55 pm

I am trying to use the page at http://chris.holycow.org/ for http://holycow.audionine.com/ But when I do, I get the page thats currently on http://holycow.audionine.com. I have uploaded it several times.

I am trying to use the avatar upload feature for HOLYCOW Forums, it does not work. I have setup an account on my forum so people can view the problem. My forum is http://hcforum.audionine.com

Please use a more descriptive subject next time.

I think you need to contact audionine for setting.

Antony, I made a huge mistake. I tried to set up my forum so it would use the domain "http://holycow.audionine.com" (without the quotes) and the directory "/" (without the quotes). Now when I attempt to login it forwards to microsoft.com. Can you explain how to fix my mistake?

I thought it redirects to another domain.

The forum looks fine to me. I don't follow you.

I attempted to make my forum use http://hcforum.holycow.org with the directory as /.

I did the following when doing this.

1. Logged into the admin panel
2. Under "general admin", click configuration
3. Changed the domain name to http://hcforum.holycow.org
4. Changed the directory to /
5. Clicked submit


Now whenever you login to the forum, it forwards to microsoft.com, whenever you click the admin panel, it forwards to microsoft.com. Is there a way I can change this back?

what is the microsoft.com got to do with your forum?

So you can't log in at all? But your forum is working still (last time I checked).

yes I can log into the forum. but I have to go back to the forum after I login because it forwards me to microsoft.com. After I go back to the forum, I refresh it and I am logged in.

no, because I still cant login to the admin panel. I can only login to the forum and I have to do multiple steps to do that.

I am having exactly the same problem. I used to have a subdomain but then switched to a domain... the phpbb url was set to mgs.gamingsource.net but then when i changed it to the domain I added HTTP and now its messed up.

It redirects to Microsoft because I guess you are using firefox.. it is a little firefox quirk. If you try it on IE you just get a DNS error.

PHPBB dont seem to know how to solve this one..

When you change your domain, you need to change the value in your database (both in the configuration file and in the SQL). In other words, not just from the Admin's control panel.
