my v1.75 folder was /php_mm
my V2 folder is /mm2

I have notcied today that some of my "Nearing Expiration" emails were not as i had chnaged them to. then i notoced that the link in the email referred bgcak to my /php_mm folder, so i presume that this is still working aswell???

For now, i have emptied the folder, but have a problem that previous to my upgarde to /mm2, my members emails directing them to the control panel in /php_mm.

Is there something i can do to redirect them to the correct folder?
Or do i simply stick an index page in there with a redirect to the new control panel, i am just concerned that the members data will not appear in the control panel.

I would suggest checking your admin settings first. Click Setup Options - Setup Options Home in the admin section then make sure your control panel URL is correct. If this is correct make sure your email templates for your members are not hard coded with a link to the old directory by clicking on email templates then edit emails.

Thanks PBS,

That is exactly what you should do. I would put that redirect up in the old folder just so if anyone still gets there they're sent to the correct area.

yes CP is correct.
I was referring to emails the mebers would have got when they signed up, on V1.75.
If they kept the email for reference etc, it has the old URL in.

a problem with the redirect is that the URl sent from the welcome email has an url such as http://www.mysite.co.uk/php_mm/contro_panel.php = user&name&password etc
and my index.html page now (in the v1.75 folder) only redirects if they try and access that folder, otherwsie it gives a 404.

Just add a file named control_panel.php to your old directory with this code in your html head tag

You can add a text link on the page that says our control panel has moved, if you are not redirected in 5 seconds please click here. Then link it to the new directory/control_panel.php just incase the refresh takes too long and members do not want to wait.

Many Thanks pbsahost, Thats got it
