    login problem

    When I try to login it opens a mini-window of my forums. Why does it do this and how can I log in? (See attached screen shot)

    What is the value for your login URL under Settings -> Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details? In most circumstances, it should match the Frontend URL.

      I moved my forums and database to a local server (localhost) for some testing I want to do. I need to change my site URL but not able to login to do this. http://localhost/admincp directs me to my production forums.
      Is there a way to change the site URL directly in the database or a config file?

        You can change the URL by copying over tools.php from your download package. it is in the do_not_upload folder. Put it in /core/admincp. You will also need to copy over the /core/install directory. Load tools.php by going to ../admincp/tools.php in your browser.
