I created vB in its own folder called forums. There is no index.html file at www.mydomain.com so it displays the file/folder tree.

When someone visits www.mydomain.com or mydomain.com, I would like the http://www.mydomain.com/forums to load.

I have uploaded an htaccess file and experimented with different code, but so far a 302 rewrite forces http://mydomain.com/forums/ to load and not http://www.mydomain.com/forums/.

Make a file called index.html, place it in www.mydomain.com and put this inside the file.

Code:

<html><head></head><body>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=http://www.mydomain.com/forums">
</body></hmtl>

Thank you!

That works, but its very slow to load. Any way to make it quicker?

Yeah, change that 5. That 5 means 5 seconds until redirect.

If your using cPanel I'm sure theres an option to set-up redirects. Although it has been a while since I used it lol. You'd be better off setting the 5 to a 0 so people won't notice the redirect as much. Otherwise if you are not planning on having a main site you could just install vBulletin in the main directory.

If you are only running the forum, you can just move all the vBulletin files and folders down one node

ie: home/mydomain/public_html/forums to home/mydomain/public_html

This way, you will not have to reinstall vbulletin. It will not affect your database at all.

You will not experience any problems with this move, except you should delete the new index file that you created above.

If you are planning to create a home page, your forums are fine where they are.

If you do this, make sure to change your cookie settings in vBulletin ACP.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
