I am moving my website from one webhost to another. Because of this, I have not changed my nameservers for my domain yet, and my site on my new host is only accessible via http://servername.webhost.com/~mysite.

I have tried a number of CMS packages and encountered the same problem on all of them: because my domain name is not "live" at this site yet, I can't configure/access certain features, such as login and setup. In each case, I've had to hunt down where exactly the URL is "hard coded" and change it to point to servername.webhost.com/~mysite instead of mysite.com.

Where or how is this coded in XOOPS, or can it even be done?

Re: Using XOOPS without a domain name?

When installing XOOPS the package will pick up the correct path every time.

All you half to do is make sure these url's below are correct once you point your domain to the new dns.

// XOOPS Physical Path
    // Physical path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
    // Example: define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', 'C:/wamp/www/xoops');
    
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH''C:/wamp/www/xoops');

    
// XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)
    // Virtual path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
    // Example: define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://localhost/xoops');
    
define('XOOPS_URL''http://localhost/xoops');


The paths would be in your public_html/mainfile.php after you have installed the XOOPS package.

I hope this is what your looking for. If not post again...
