Topic: Moving from root

I need to move the forum from the root (www.mywebsite.com) to a subdomain (www.mywebsite.com/forum). 

Anyone have instructions on how to do this?

Re: Moving from root

  • Copy all files to the new place

  • Change the value of the $base_url variable in config.php

  • Add an htaccess file to redirect all requests to the new forum.

So the current htaccess file won't work if I copy it over to the new place?
