Moving Forum One Level Up

[netsavy006]

I'm looking at my site and I'm noticing my portal (html main pages) are useless to me. I'd like to move my forum up one level (from AspieMania to http://aspiemania.us)

Is there a way I can do this without messing stuff up? (like the database etc.)

Thanks,
Andy...

What I do in this case is I go into my vboptions and change my forum URL from http://mysite.com/forum to http://mysite.com and then I just highlight all files/folders in the forum directory and move into the parent folder. Take note that if you have the attachments and avatars, etc in a file system, be sure to update their paths as well. Then I would add a rewrite rule in the forum folder to foreward all links to the higher level.

Michael, same technique for moving forum down one URL?

I want to go from www.somesite.com to www.somesite.com/forum

[Michael Biddle]

Yes, it would be the same process.

Please can you write the rewrite rule here? to move my forum URL from http://mysite.com/forum to http://mysite.com

Thanks
