Installing VBulletin Question?

[hermoine22]

How do I install vb on my main root so its not yourdomain.com/upload I want it in the main so when I go to index the fourm comes up immidiately?

Everything in the "upload" folder should have been uploaded to your forums root... so if you purchased for example the domain www.vbulletin.com you would upload it all into the root .

Some server have this in www folder or public_html folder or htdocs it depends on your host/server setup.

So I just installed it onto my root directory and I got a message that I already installed Vb even thought I thought I removed my old copy of the license? I just clicked to upgrade to the latest version and it installed but I cannot log in, which is the same issue I had before why i removed the files and unistalled. Now I get this error when I go to forget password I get a not found page and this link

http://www.bookworm-central.com/www.....php?do=lostpw

so its got my current installation and my old link together, how do I fix this?

Ahh ok the quickest way to fix that is:

1. Create the upload folder again, move all the files back into it, then go into admincp and into the settings to reset the Contact US / URL settings and save the new forum url w/o the /upload on the end.
2. Now move the files back into the root and it's fixed.

If you still have issues after that, upload the tools.php from the "do_not_upload" folder into your admincp folder and fix the cookies in both areas.

Should be ready to rock and roll .
