Crucial Help Please?
OK, This will be a bit long but this is so important. I am new to PHP and I don't want to re-do my site again. I was having some issues with a site I put up before this one. I decided to redo the site and doi that under a different folder so my main site would not go done. So I did the whole site under the folder /bf2/ and once done I transferred it to /ja/ under an ftp program. As far as the mysql I just opened it and copied the text and pasted it under a JA Sql. Site worked and everything except one thing I just found out. When someone registers it does send the confirmation E-mail but when anyone clicks on it it would not work. What can I do to fix this to keep the site under my /JA/ folder and not /bf2/ folder. Now I did not change the mysql settings in the settings.php. If anyone can help me I hae PM's here, Aim, MSN, and Ventrilo to talk. Please please help.
Double check the url in preferences
Yeah, That was the first thing i checked. The weird thing is that the only thing I changed was the directory the files are under and the E-mail in the preferences. Everything else like the Sql data, and the settings file to point to the Sql stayed the same when I moved it back to the directory that it was originally built in. .
Just an idea but if you could leave us a link to your site so we can check it out that would be helpful.
Yeah that would have been smart on my part.

It seems to work fine when I have it under the bf2 folder but when it is under the ja folder were I need it. That is when it won't let you activate. Should I put it back under the ja folder so you may see what it does when you try to register. Thank you for this help.
Here is the activation link I was sent when I registered for your site this is not the entire link as I have not included my checksum pass key.
| Code: : |
| http://clancfm.com/bf2//modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=activate&username=DataBaseError |
you see the extra / after bf2 //modules.php? you link in your setup is wrong in the preferences admin section of your site. It should be | Code: : |
| http://clancfm.com/bf2 |
and not | Code: : |
| http://clancfm.com/bf2/ |
. As to the issue with the ja folder if you are having this much trouble then I would suggest that you save your database reupload a fresh copy of a version of php-nuke that is the same as the bf2 directory. Just moving the core site files from one directory to anyother some times the files get corrupted. Then sql injecting the member data into the ja directory's sql database. I would also delete the bf2 directory and also the bf2 db. Dont forget to clean your cookies before you try to setup anything on the ja directory.
DataBaseError and Sevenofnine. I would like to say a big thank you. Both were very helpful and saved me much time. I believe I got it to work. I tested it with another E-mail and so far so good. Bascially what I had to do was I took the last saved .sql file and I edited it. With the help Data gave me about the /bf2// I did a find through Notepad and changed the ones I came up with to /ja and then I did a manual search and found one more and changed that. I re-Uploaded my saved site and made those changes (and boom boom goes the dynamite) I was back in business. As they tell you here at nukecode it is crucial to back up the site files when you complete and the whole .sql file. It saved me a lot of trouble. Thank you.
Glad you fixed it but you wasted your time going through the database and changing them. Once the registration email is sent there is no way to change it. All you had to do was change "ba/" to "ba" in the site url in preferences.
Yeah, I understand that Nuke and I did that first trust me. for some reason that din't work. I am just happy it is all good. Thank you again.
