I use the UTF-8 converter tool in your ACP, now I can write cirilic language, but I have problem with write cirilic language in past.

Thank you very much for this usefull tutorial
I set up a mybb forum on my localhost and I want to transfer it to a new server to replace the online forum wich is still on phpbb )
I did all changes and testings on local sever
I know how to restore a database, upload files via FTP, chmod ...etc
Now:
-Where and how to change databse name, user and password ?( in phpbb, I used to find those settings in config.php )
- where to change Board URL and Homepage URL via phpMyadmin ( In phpbb, I used to find those settings in phpbb_config table )? can I access ACP if those parameters refer to old values ??

@katib:

It's the same here, config.php for the database access and settings (mybb_settings) table for the site access.
