I am moving to another isp. I have performed a full backup of the forum database (sql server) and restored it into the new isp's database (1and1 development package). I then went into the configuration table and changed the urls accordingly (was hostname/forums - now forums.hostname.com). I ftp'd all the forum code to the new isp and was able to bring up the forum and "login" as admin - however it looks like it never "logs in" - I do not have the admin link at the top right and it looks like i never logged in - cant see anything in the forums and tells me I am not logged in.
 
Any clues?

it maybe a cookie /session issue with 1&1

i would not have gone with them.

it sounds like the cookies are being dropped/sessions

do the numbers show when you register an account or are they error/no image sign?

yeah, I have read enough horror stories about 1and1 but they really do have the best package from my research for what I need.
 
btw - I uploaded a brand new forum (7.92) into another site and ran the mssql_setup script and that site works fine. so its not 1and1 but rather the database import i believe - now i have dupe tables and sprocs with diff owners - one site works, the other doesnt. i will be doing some directory/image swapping to get things back to normal.
 
thanks
