I have just installed 7.1, using the Wizard for set up. All seems to work OK except that my root directory which should be http://www.mydomain.com/forums but it appears set to http://www.mydomain.org.uk/forums/www.mydomain.com

I can't find a Control Panel menu item which allows me to change this setting. Any help much appreciated - I would rather not have to resort to a re-install.

CP -> Master Settings -> DB Paths and URLs -> Paths and URLs tab, "Full URL to Main Directory" option.

Be sure you enter in the http://, such as:
http://www.elitewebgamers.com/forum

Gizmo,
Thanks for the speedy reply and suggestion. Have doubled checked that path and it is correctly entered in the format you gave: http://www.aircrew.org.uk/forums The link, however, becomes: http://www.aircrew.org.uk/forums/www.aircrew.org.uk

Is this something I can correct by amending a database entry - and if so where?

You could check your includes/config.inc.php file; somewhere, something is being entered without an "http://" as it's trying to ammend that to the URI you're accessing.

The only other thing that I can think of is that you're using a URL redirector (such as a rewrite rule in a .htaccess file) which isn't formed properly (and is redirecting to an incomplete url).

Gizmo,

Many thanks - a good steer. In config.inc.php the HOMEPAGE_URL line was missing http:// - presumably an input error on my part using the Wizard for set up.

All now looks good.

Glad to hear you're up and running! Enjoy your UBB.T7
