CMS Page at root?

[twitch]

How do I make the CMS Homepage default page for root of site?

My forums are located at www.mysite.com/forum and I want the CMS page to load at www.mysite.com

How can I make that happen?

Thanks!

I think I have seen an article at vb.com about doing that but can''t remember the exact link. you might want to have a look there.

its easy really you just uncomment a line in the index.php file located in root/forums/
then you move that file to root :>

oh in index.php you have an option to uncomment a line . if your useing /forums/ use that if your useing /forum/ use that

If you have vBSEO enabled you can do it via rewrite rules without touch the core files

Bottom line, no.
So far there are no easy solutions.
I'm doing it this way.

Then why does vBulletin offer these instructions? I would think they would work if vBulletin put them in their help files.

I am trying it right now though and cannot get it to work.

I get this on my homepage: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DEFAULT in /home/content/h/u/m/humyadayada/html/index.php on line 4

And all over vbulletin.com it references these same files, yet has <?#shebang#?> in front of each of the coding, yet the vBulletin instructions for the scripts do not have this. What in the world is that? Do I need it?

OH WOW! I just figured it out and it was easier than all that mess!

I just copied the .index.php file to my desktop and read what it said about deleting the "//" from that one line (they call it an "uncomment") and uploaded it to my root! It worked!

Yes, I did read your post, but I didn't understand it, that's why I replied "uh?" ...I guess I should have quoted you with that "uh." Sorry!
