I failed epicly when I was installing Vbulletin. I misread the instructions and i installed it with the upload folder lol...

So it is public_html/upload/vbulletin site but i thought originally that was how i was supposed to install it and changed the upload folder name to forums.

So when you go on the site www.mypokerhub.com it doesnt show the site but shows a link called forums lol, i went and redirected www.mypokerhub.com to http://mypokerhub.com/forums/content.php and it works fine.

Is there a way where I could move the files so that mypokerhub.com would load as the vbulletin site and i wont need to redirect? Or can i just leave it the way it is and it wont effect vBSEO.

If there is no way to fix this, oh well I guess I will just re-install >.> ( i don't want to waste 3hours re-installing all mods and setting stuff up lol )

Any help is appreciated ;)

Change the URL in AdminCP > Settings > Options > site name/url/etc > forum url and then go move all the files from the /upload directory to root. You should then be fine.

So i am in the settings and i changed the forum url to be
http://mypokerhub.com instead of http://mypokerhub.com/forums
I clicked Save and transferred all the files from
public_html/forums/ to public_html/ and than when i refreshed the site the home page worked, than when i clicked on anything else it shows http://mypokerhub.com/forums/ whatever the page name was and a Error

I decided I am just going to re-install VB, is there anything special that I need to do? Or do i just delete the database that I am using now and create a new one and follow the same steps as previously? Since it will be the same domain name.
