Stupid question
 

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but what is the differences between:

your forum root

and

your forums directory

thanks in advance........hotwheels

Your forum root is where the index.php is located. The forum directory is the directory path where the forum's data will be stored on the server.

Nice try Ike. ;)

Forum's Root and Forums Directory should be the same thing. ;)

But there are those that will say the forums root is the directory ABOVE the forums directory.

yoursite.com = forums root
yoursite.com/forums = forums directory

So it all depends on who you are talking to at them time, I guess.

I tend to use 'forum root' in my installation .txt's. Personaly I am refering to the directory showthread.php is in (in most cases yourdomain.com/forum/)

I will now go into hiding for a couple of months.

I'm just trying to help! :cry:

Thanks for the replies.....man this site just rock's.....a couple other site's i ask question's, and they are still waiting to be answered......hehehe

No, Ike, you did fine. I was just giving you a hard time. Come out from hiding now. ;)

Tsk tsk Boofo, stop being mean to the members! :p

THEY DID NUFFIN!11111

Now I'M going into hiding. I was hollered at by Staff. :(

So, it's okay? To come out now? Gosh I'd hate to be chastised again :(
