Hello everyone!

When I was installing vBulletin I created a folder called 'FORUM' and uploaded the whole folder into public_html. My question is how do I make my message board to load immediately when I enter my website. At this moment I have to type www.mywebsite.com/forum what I want to be able to do is to type www.mywebsite.com and to be able to view my forum.

Thank you!

Well,

if u really want ur website to pulled up automatically , u just need to put ur VB files into Public_html root ! by putting the files into FORUM folder , u are just making a subdirectory from root .. to ur forum ..which is ofcourse leading to the FOrum folder u made.

so,
to avoid any obnoxious situation , dont create any folder as index.php could be easily pulled up directly by accessing , www.mysite.com
instead of mysite.com/forum >> if u put the vb files in Forum folder.

:)
hope it gonna help u .

try add this to your
.htaccess fileDirectory Index /myforumfolder/index.php

PD: i'm only guessing first time I try making a subfolder the default directory with .htaccess

Or you can use a index file in the root directory, simple but works.

index.php
PHP: 
<?php
header ("Location: http://sitename.com/forumlocation/");
?>
 
try using some ftp software and select all the files and folders in the forum dir and move it to public_html!

its that simple! I tried it before it works!

thank you
