Hello
My name is Liuyafei,I am using the phpMyFAQ(2.9.4),it is very helpful for my work.But I met a question.
For example ,My phpMyFAQ'URL is "https://10.11.41.18/phpmyfaq","10.11.41.18"is also my IP address.But one day the IP address of my cumputer is changed by some reason,
I can't open the phpMyFAQ anymore.How can I open it again? Could you teach me.Thank you very much.

Hi,

do you have database access? If yes, you can change the address in the faqconfig table.

Dear Thorsten

I ran into this problem and I was able to correct the issue, follow these steps. As Thorsten mentioned you need access to the database, mine was local and I suspect yours is the same way. My database's name is faqdb, make sure you use the name for your db. Also use whatever username for your mysql, mine is root since I am only testing the engine. Change the config_value to the new ip address and directory as noted below. Have fun.



[root@localhost admin]# mysql -u root -p
Enter Password:

mysql> use faqdb;
mysql> show tables;
mysql> select * from faqconfig;
mysql> update faqconfig set config_value='http://your.new.ip.address/faqdirectory' where config_name='main.referenceURL' ;
mysql> exit
