[more edit] Well, i figured it out… i cannot put a redirect and at the same time wanting to have a subdirectory to install in. So no redirect for now folks. We have to wait until the move has been completed.

[edit] seems when i set up a redirect i’m not able anymore to do any testing on ld4all.com itself… until i have solved the prob, forum.ld4all.com is disabled. so you have to come tru ld4all.com [/edit]
my wish come true.
it is now just a redirect to the old server but hey it works
fyi, ld4all.com works again too
right.
having said that, here is the plan.
at the new server i’m installing the forum brand new. this is going to take a while since i have to get all the smilies and templates and MOD’s etc.
Then, this forum will be closed to do a backup and do the restore on the new server. This is probably going to take a day or maybe longer since the forum is large so it takes time for the backup and restore to be made.
then after that everything will be just as usual only now everything is on ld4all.com.
I hope there is some MYSQL way of search and replace (brainhacker? hypnodude?) so all the url’s to topics can be changed easily. (like the ones in the BIG topics part I,II etc).
