Fixing Cookies:
First thing first, we need to get access to our files. So we need to get a ftp client such as: Filezilla.
Once we have filezilla we login with out FTP credentials.
Next we go to the path of
/public_html/inc/settings.php
or
/inc/settings.php //Like my server//
Then we open it up with a client like notepad/notepad++ if your on windows, or if your on Mac/Linux open it up with Gedit or whatever your text editor is. Minimal is Vim(For Mac/Linux).

Next look for this in your code,
Now this is where people forget, you need to have the period before the domain in "Cookiedomain."
Heres an example:
I replaced mydomainwith google.
Once we have this we need to login to our Admin Panel, and go to:
ACP->Configuration->Settings->General Configuration
Make sure to fix EVERYTHING that has your old domain, in it.
These are the settings to re-update:
Once done save it and you're done with configuring your forum, to work with the new site.![Smile]( "Smile")
Fixing Connection Error:

I apologize for the color scheme I wrote this for my site before and I have a darker theme. So it looks more better on a dark scheme. If you like this tutorial please provide me some feedback and provide me anything you may want me to add/improve![Wink]( "Wink")
