Problem with setting up Localhost

[solas]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a development environment on my local machine using the instructions here.

I took a copy of my live database and did a fresh install on local host with premod phpbb 3.0.5 I put in the db details and connect fine.

*perhaps my mistake* I installed and configured the premod before changing server_name and cookie location to localhost/correctfolder in the phpbb_config table.

I can log in fine, but when I click on the social forum it re-directs to -www.mysite.com/board/social.

Should I re-install? Is there anything else I can try first?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

James
