[HELP] redirect issues of some sort?

[SchmitzIT]

I'm having some issues here.Old forum (vb4) was in /forums/. xf test install was in /xf/.

I moved the old forums folder to some other folder, but if I even attempt to rename /xf/ to /forums/, it'll show a blank page. It works fine in /xf/.

Any thoughts? My host is in the UK, and not in atm, so I'd have to wait until tomorrow before I can get help from them.*whimper*

Thanks in advance

Sometimes you may need to restart the server (or some processes) after moving the installation.

This depends on server configuration, whether there is any form of caching installed, etc.

AHAHA! IIIIT'S ALIVE! ALIVE I TELL YOU! MUAHAHAHA.

Now lemme go test them redirection thingies.

Good lord. I'm glad I'm not closer to 70, or my poor ticker would probably have given in long ago.

Oh well. As we say in Holland, "He who wants to get rid of vB has to suffer a bit".

Just to be sure, did you change your Board URL in Options -> Basic Board Information -> Board URL from http://www.yoursite.com/xf to http://www.yoursite.com/forums

I did, Lawrence, thanks The restart of Apache did the trick for me. Now for the redirects, and then I'll be a happy camper for today.

Ran into some nasty issues with permissions, but that can all wait.
