Re: Bug Reports - Post server migration woes!
Hi Doug, welcome to the forum and thanks for the tip.92f-fan wrote:Great site !!
Assuming you are running this on a linux server, You should be able to create an htaccess file that will redirect the links that point to the old folder to the new url
That would save you from having to do a global search and replace on the database - which as you know can destroy the database
im no htaccess expert but an htaccess file in the root of http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_Forum" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; could be created to redirect all the urls to the correct new url
for example you could change
http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... 13&t=24130" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
towith the htaccess, by looking for the texaschl_forum folder and replace it and everything before it with http://www.texaschlforum.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Code: Select all
http://www.texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=24130
This is of course assuming you own and will continue to have rights to http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_Forum/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This certainly looks like a much better plan! Yes, I still own TexasShooting.com so I just need to find out what needs to go into the .htaccess file.

Re: Bug Reports - Post server migration woes!
I'm going to close this thread soon; thankfully it appears the two minor bugs were a matter of settings that I have fixed.
Dodged yet another bullet!

Re: Bug Reports - Post server migration woes!
As AEA said, it's not just you. Something is pointing to a nonexistent folder ("TexasCHL_Forum") and I can't find the offending file. The image paths are correctly set in the header files, so I'm stumped. I can fix it easily by just adding the folder and copying the images, but I want to fix it, not work around the problem.suthdj wrote:maybe it is just me but the images at top don't work

Bug Reports - Post server migration woes!
For the most part, the migration of TexasCHLforum to the new server has been fine. However, I've noticed a few bugs and hopefully I've been able to fix most. Please use this thread to report any bugs you see and please check to see if someone has already reported the same bug before posting. Duplicate bug reports will be deleted.
