Can't Change Forum URL

[sammyman]

I want to change my forums from www.domain.com/forum to www.domain.com/community.

I changed this in the settings and restarted the server, and it still reverts to www.domain.com/forum. How do I fix this?

How can I move my installation to a different directory?
Update the Board URL in the ACP -> Options -> Basic Board Information and move the files to the new directory. You may need to restart the server for the change to take effect.

I did that. Didn't work. Restarted the server a couple times with no luck. I feel like I must be missing something.

I tried to change the forum/ to community/

Do you mean this setting is reverting somehow?

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Basic Board Information -> Board URL

Does it save in the first place? Try changing the setting and saving it, then revisit the page to ensure it has updated.

No it does save. It has been saved as /community for a week. Server has been restarted. The default URL's are also correct at http://www.domain.com/community/misc/contact, but they don't work.

Then there must be a problem with the server. Perhaps some kind of save point / restore system that is being triggered on restart. You should contact your host or server person about this.
