Transferring forum to another directory
This tutorial will show you how to transfer your forum to another directory.
e.g. yoursite.com/forums to yoursite.com/bbs
Step 1. First backup your forum directory and database, although not needed is always a wise precaution.
Step 2. Go to Admin CP / TOOLS & SETTINGS / System Settings / General Configuration
Find Upload URL and Path to 'upload' directory
In my exampe we would change
Upload URL: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/uploads to http://www.yoursite.com/bbs/uploads
Path to 'upload' directory: /home/username/public_html/forums/uploads to /home/username/public_html/bbs/uploads
Now click 'Update Settings'
Step 3. Open a ftp client, edit conf_global.php
Find:
$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://www.yoursite.com/forums';
In my example we would change it to
$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://www.yoursite.com/bbs';Remember never to put a '/' at the end of the url.
Save and your done
