Hello i have moved my site and forum to new server recently, It is Vbulletinf forum and it is on sub domain. Site is working normally but the forum is down. I have done all the required steps to move the forum, made a backup of files and upload them to new server with same folder structure, then export the forum database and import it in new database on new server. Changed the info in config.php with new database name, user and password, also added "localhost" as server address. So the DNS propagation is finished successfully, site is loading just fine but forum doesn't load. Can someone please help me with this, did i missed or forgot to do something, or made any mistakes with this process. Is any process necessary to point the sub domain to new server IP also? Thanks for help.
I managed to get my forum online but now i have another problem, only first pages in every thread are working rest of them showing error 404 page. This is some problem with nginx rules for vbseo, can anyone help to resolve this?
my best guess is that the problem is caused by, either: having nested/overlapping document roots (which Apache generally does not like), the subdomain is misconfigured in Apache the Drupal install is configured to use the first web root Generally web apps are designed to be accessed from a single web root. If you access it from another web root, the routing or URL rewrite rules could cause errors. You really shouldn't have your domains set up like that anyway. Besides causing potential glitches, it's also insecure. I prefer a directory structure like this: ~/htdocs/domain1.tld/wwwroot ~/htdocs/domain2.tld/wwwroot ~/htdocs/sub.domain1.tld/wwwroot ~/htdocs/sub.domain2.tld/wwwroot This way, you can keep secure files for each site/app outside of its doc root (as well as install shared libraries). In your current configuration, you could keep files above subdomainroot and it would still be accessible because it's in your parent domain's doc root.
