moving forum from directory to root

Hey,

I want to move my forum from the forum directory to the root directoty so everything is there when you hit the domain (dont want no redirections),

As I currently have it setup and configured for the 'forum' directory how can I move it all to root?

Is it as simple as moving the files folders to root in FTP or SSH? and then maybe update the config? is there any database modifications?

Thanks in advance,

Update the 2-3 settings in the admincp first to refelect the new location, then move the files.

You need to change the forum URL path.

This is found under vBulletin Options >>> Site Name / URL / Contact Details and rename the forum URL to what it will be.

Then all you have to do is move the files

Hope this helps, PM me if you get stuck.

Also you may want to create an .htaccess in your forum folder with the following content so that all reuqets at forum folder will be redirected to your root

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1

That is incorrect.

It would move www/public_html/forums/* to www/. instead of www/public_html/.

Correct would be: mv forums/* .
