upload this to your forum root phpinfo.php and look for

DOCUMENT_ROOT

this will give your forum root
you will need this only for /core/include/config.php

in config.php from the forum root
look for

$config['baseurl'] =

put the domain url of the forum

for example

http://www.domain.com/vb5demo

ensure that your .htaccess looks like this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]

#needed because admincp is an actual directory.
RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

# Use PHP 5.3
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php .php5 .php4 .php3
