How do I make the CMS Homepage default page for root of site?

My forums are located at www.mysite.com/forum and I want the CMS page to load at www.mysite.com

How can I make that happen?

Thanks!

its easy really you just uncomment a line in the index.php file located in root/forums/
then you move that file to root :>

If you have vBSEO enabled you can do it via rewrite rules without touch the core files :)

Thanks!Bottom line, no.
So far there are no easy solutions.

Then why does vBulletin offer these instructions (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/options_contentmanagement)? I would think they would work if vBulletin put them in their help files.

I am trying it right now though and cannot get it to work.

I get this on my homepage: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DEFAULT in /home/content/h/u/m/humyadayada/html/index.php on line 4

And all over vbulletin.com it references these same files, yet has <?#shebang#?> in front of each of the coding, yet the vBulletin instructions for the scripts do not have this. What in the world is that? Do I need it?

OH WOW! I just figured it out and it was easier than all that mess!

I just copied the .index.php file to my desktop and read what it said about deleting the "//" from that one line (they call it an "uncomment") and uploaded it to my root! It worked!

Yes, I did read your post, but I didn't understand it, that's why I replied "uh?" ...I guess I should have quoted you with that "uh." Sorry!

i was just kidding you know but, you will find the cms is going to have a bit of a cookie issue, you will Hardey ever be logged out unless you do it manually, its a tough cookie , at least thats how my boar is useing it, but i dont really find that a problem.!

I have index.php in my root with the following config, but my homepage still defaults to the Forums, not the CMS page. Am I missing a setting in options?

/**
* Use the CMS as the default script:
*/

require('content.php');

/**
* Use the forum as the default script:
*/

// require('forum.php');
