Joy Rex Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm planning on changing from my current forum.domain.com setup to domain.com/forum when I upgrade to IPS 4 - is this an easy change, and how would I go about doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHappenen Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Well, it won't be too hard. Basically what you should do: 1. Back up files and database. 2. Move forum files to /forum/ directory. 3. Edit the config file, and change the domain to the new one you have. blahblah.com/forum/ 4. Edit any necessary things in ACP once everything is working after you do the stuff above. If you need help, feel free to shoot me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Rex Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 @TheHappenen Thanks for the reply - forum files are already in a /forum/ directory, so I'm assuming the forum.domain.com is being handled by a subdomain setup via my hosting, right?

Correct. If you have a forum.domain.com, it's going to be that subdomain. If you have a cPanel, you can edit them in there. Since the forum is already in /forum/ and it's using subdomain, you should just be able to delete that subdomain. You'll probably still have to edit the config file, and ACP settings, because it's using "forum.domain.com." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Rex Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 @TheHappenen OK, thanks - I'll give that a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
