Ok I have copied my DB to new server along with the copy of my forum folder. config.php has been changed right.
But when I try to access the forum it auto trys to load this URL instead.
/phpBB/install/install.php
don't matter if i come in by index, portal or the admin index to tryn load ACP, it auto boots me to that url.

im not finding your phpbb directory.
when it goes to install/install.php, it means config.php is empty. check for misspelling and that it is in your forum root

think I know why but don't know how to solve it.
There is no Domain Name spot in the php_config
There is a site name but no domai name option, which im sure what needs edited.

The forum is still active and working at the old domain, When I go into the ACP and look at config settings, the very first top one is domain name.
but when I log into its phpmyadmin even it does not have that setting in pgp_config, only setting is site name,
Where in the DB is the domian name setting hidden?

config is set up right, there is no install folder, its not a new install it a move to a new domain. install folder was nuked long ago when forum was set up per original install directions.
Im just moving the forum to a new host/domain

would be easier if I just used the same domain in the move but I need to do a test move to make sure the new host is gonna be better.

Can kinda see what I mean here, in CP for forum first setting is the domain name but in the DB there is no settin in the config table.
I have searched n searched but can't find the right place in the DB to change the domain name so it works right.

Is there a way to do a fresh install and just import the data later?

I now get this error
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: sql_db in /home/xvnetwor/public_html/phpBB/includes/db.php on line 59
line 59 is this
$db = new sql_db($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpasswd, $dbname, false);

YOu were right it was the config, see my new host gave me a whole set of into to post in the config, and I did that instead of just editin the old one. DOH
