IPB Forum domain help

Post by chovicta »

Hello!,

I recently bought a domain for my website but I dont know how to set my forum software to use the new path and domain.

I am running IPB 4.2X and this is how my public folder looks like

123
forums
phpadmin

I wanted to move my forums into the root so that when people click sitename.com they would have the same url instead of it redirecting to .site.nfoservers.com

To do this, you'd simply set the @ subdomain record on the Domains tab of your webhosting control panel to point to "public/forums/". This will cause your forums directory to be the root directory loaded by the subdomain.

This will, however, prevent the 123 and phpMyAdmin directories from being loaded as well, unless you have another subdomain pointing to them (or just to the public directory).

I did that but all it did was redirect me to my public and shows the 3 folders
