Hello,

I own and operate a web business and absolutely LOVE Xoops.

I need help with the following, and hope for some urgent replies.

I have installed Xoops sucessfully on my server. Everything works fine. I put xoops in the /members directory - but am currently using a temporary link / URL, until the domain name is transfered over to the same hosting company.

In this case, would I need to change all the settings for XOOPS to the true domain once the domain is transfered - or can I leave everything as is, and everything will fall naturally into place (where no changes are needed to the domain or settings - mainfile.php).

I am really hoping on a temporary URL Xoops will still work once the domain is transfered and nothing will need to be changed.

If things need to be changed, can I set xoops up on a temporary URL and somehow back - it up, so I don't loose anything and then when the domain is transfered - set xoops up again and import my changes ?

Any help with this greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Just edit the URL definitions in mainfile.php (watch out for the correct chmod!).
Or the paths if you want to move from directory.

OK. I have had my Temporary URL change to the main website address now (i.e. www.abc.com)

However, I have tried to change the mainfile.php - but it messed things up and I no longer have my site online!

Please HELP... What is the Xoops Path ? What exactly do I enter ?
