sub domain name was changed by mod after install-need advice

greetings:

this is a great mod - congratulations on a job well done.

a quick question:

after installing the premod in a sub domain, what would cause the mod to change the domain from, for example: http //forum.myexample.com to http //testing.myexample.com

it is the weirdest thing - and has happened twice.

when i turn off the seo mod, the domain goes back to normal

why change the subdomain to "testing"?

here is .htaccess:

# Lines That should already be in your .htacess
<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

# You may need to un-comment the following line
# Options +FollowSymlinks
# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On
# REWRITE BASE
RewriteBase /

thanks for your help

It's only a phpBB3 config matter, the phpBB SEO mod are using configured domain name and path to build the attended URL, so it must be the correct.

By default, phpBB3 uses the server vars to build the phpBB url, but it's less accurate, because some server config could lead to wrong or altered data.

Just go acp and update these settings, and you'll be ok Wink
