Ok, i figured out the other questions, one thing is, i used an automatic installer that came with the hosting, but i moved the folder it installed to. Now whenever someone logged in, it says 404 not found because it is looking in the place it WAS installed to. Now, i want to know, Where do i look for the URL and change it?

It should be a config.php or settings.php, not sure which one phpBB uses. Go in there and edit the script path, then reupload that file.

I would probably just reupload phpBB, it would save you a lot of work/trouble.

You will need database access seeing as you can't login to access the admin panel. Go to phpbb_config and look for the config_name entry called 'script_path'. You will need to change the config_value entry to whatever your new folder is.

Yes, Paul, myBB is better than phpBB. But you don't have to plug it in a thread where it is totally uncalled for. This problem can happen in any forum software- not just phpBB, and I don't recall anyone asking for suggestions or complaining about phpBB's lack of features, so the advertisement was totally uncalled for.

True, myBB is better, But i'm using a automatic installer! I am too lazy to chmod all those files! I'll try your idea morkula.

It's done in the Admin CP, in the General Settings I think, there is a little thing called "Path to" and there you should enter the path to the files. It's all done in the Admin CP ;D

Only problem with that is that getting into the admin CP is a lot harder when the links are all screwed up. If you knew the URL to the General Settings page of the CP, it would be all right. But it's a lot easier just to change it from the php file.

But i CAN get into the Admin CP! I'm logged in if i go back to the main forum! Too late now, i fixed it by moving the folder back. This can be closed now.
