upgrading to vb suite

[astdirect]

I have vbulletin 4.1.3 forums installed in directory /forum

I want to install the suite but have the suite in the root and the forums in /forum

How do i do this ? Been trying for a while with no success.

Same here! Followed these instructions, but cant get it to work!

If you figure it out, please let me know.

look in the index.php and forum.php file
they have instructions in there

Brandon - i just don't see it. I tried what it said in the install, plus what it says in the index.php etc but still wouldn't work

[Brandon Sheley]

It was the index.php file, not the forums (wasn't sure, it's been a while since I had to look)

but this didn't work?

//define('VB_RELATIVE_PATH', 'forums');

vb is in /forum

So, i uploaded all contents of vbsuite to /forum directory

But cant then get cms to be root and forum to stay in /forum

OK so i have managed to get

My forum is located at

root/forum/forum.php

And my cms is showing at

root/forum/content.php

If i go directly to my site homepage i get a 404error

if i go to root/forum/ i get a 404 error.

This is really doing my head in !

In fact when i go to /forum/content.php i get redirected to /content/ which shows a 404 error.

Really frustrating that it seems so close but cant quite get it right. The url is pokerbanter.com
