Move my IPB installation to the root

[Janyour]

Hello,

i'd moved my ipb from /forum/ to the root, to save the indeexed content i'd added a 301 redirection :

redirect 301 /forum http://www.site.com

i want to know please if that it what i should do ?

because i have a small issue now, i cant access to the forums pages because the 301 redirecttion is removing the /forum/ from url !

​unsure why have redirection !! if moved your forum from /forum to just / then you will need to change the conf_global.php on line $INFO['board_url'] and once that done you need make sure all settings in Admin CP have been changed example the upload files settings.

​no idea what your .htaccess has but to me never had redirect part

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule \.(jpeg|jpg|gif|png)$ /public/404.php [NC,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

that what should look like standard one that you setup yourself never been shipped with any ipb version but found in Admin CP.

​you may need add redirection within /forum so no broken links come from the changed but terms Seo never seen much in ranking change just having sub folder or no sub folder.
