Hi, I am about to switch servers and domain, I have already edited the config.php to my new sql database and have copied all the files to my new one, what else do I need to do?

I don't want to rush in and make mistakes and I don't think that it could be that simple.

update your db "phpbb_config" with the new ".script path" and "server_name"
once your new url is active, run [url=http]cookieMOD[/url]

And if your domainname changes too, it might also be good to open the SQL backup and do a search&replace to change olddomain.com to newdomain.com
But before that, if you also change sub-directory-name you have to search&replace every olddomain.com/oldname to newdomain.com/newname <img>
