Still not solved is the fact that I must type mymarketingforum.ch/forum to reach the site instead of only mymarketingforum.ch. That happen because I uploaded all the files on my webserver into mymarketingforum.ch/forum. But when I tried to upload all the files directly into mymarketingforum.ch the site wasn't reachable..... so I uploaded all again like before
Would be nice if someone can help me here, thanks

Hi,
I had this sort of issue, as in the past I had vbull sitting on mydomain.com/forums and in order to keep everything the same (I was really worried about inbound links) I installed 4.0.1 onto mydomain.com/forums which means the forum sits on mydomain.com/forums/forum and the front CMS on mydomain.com/forums.
You can put a redirect straight into .htaccess which means everyone landing on the site automatically is at mydomain.com/forums/ However, because I have lots of subdomains it did all sorts so I just put in an index.html on the root with a repoint in html to the forums front page (marginally slower but does the job).
In fact do just this, set up index.html on your root (ie yourdomain.com/index.html) and have this and only this code in it
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/index.php">
(It redirects the browser to where the forum index.php sits)
Hope this helps.... nb: see whats in an old index.html first though, in theory you shouldn't need one with the publisher package as the index page is the index.php file in 4.0.1
