How to change PhpBB to another host

[anthony_gm]

Okay guys,

Well I had my forum with Yahoo! SmallBusiness, but they doesn't support the attachment mod so i decided to move it to the godaddy's host.. BUT.. Somebody told me that i only have to changed some things in the config.php... but i dont know exactly where can i found these settings... and.. is this the only file that i have to change?


Can anyone explain me where and what are these settings?

Code: Select all

<?php


// phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file
// Do not change anything in this file!

$dbms = '_____';

$dbhost = '_______________';
$dbname = '_______________';
$dbuser = '_______________';
$dbpasswd = '_____________';

$table_prefix = _________';

define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);

?>

Hi.

The config.php file stores the information needed for phpBB to access your database. Assuming you restored your files and database already all you need to do is open config.php with a text editor and change the settings to GoDaddy's info. Just a note of caution though: GoDaddy has poor phpBB support so make sure you get Linux hosting which might work.
