Why not just put a 301 redirect from your domain to the forum directory?
Thats what I do.

EDIT- well i guess I saw you dont want to redirect. But look at whats ChopSuey said. Try putting the content.php file in your root.

Hi. I purchased vb suite 4.0.2. It is my first time installing and using this kind of product. And I have a question totally relates to this subject.

This is what happened.
I have installed vbulletin at /www/forum/ as tutorial shows. When I connect to my server through FTP program, there's already 'www'folder which I assume it does the same function as root folder.Currently I have to enter 'www.ebaysellerforum.co.kr/forum' to see the forum.
But I want to only enter 'www.ebaysellerforum.co.kr' to see my forum.

Here are my questions.
1. I want people to only enter 'www.ebaysellerforum.co.kr' to see the forum. To be able to do this do I need to have my forum folder in root folder not in /root/forum folder?

2. Then after moving the forum folder to the root folder, what do I exactly need to do to make 'www.ebaysellerforum.co.kr' to show my forum? Could you tell me step by step as it is my first time installing and using this kind of stuff?

Move your forum files from the forum folder in the root and then go to the Acp-Settings-Options-Site Name / URL / Contact Details. And where it says: Forum URL enter http://www.ebaysellerforum.co.kr

Hope it helps.

I moved all my forum files to the root then went to ACP-settings-options-site name/url/contact deatils to change 'forum url'. I did all that. But it doesn't work.
It shows me a message from my web host saying that your requested web hosting account setting is completed. Is there anything else I need to do?
There's index.php file and index.html file in my root folder. Does it have anything to do this this situation?
Also the message from my web host says in the 'www'folder you must have a file called either index.html, index.htm, or index.php.

At the moment I have both.
Help please~!

oh! ok ok. I got it. I removed index.html file from the root folder and refreshed the webpage.
It works!! Thank you, borbole!!!!!
