Topic: installing PunBB in non-root directory

did a search, didn't find the answer.

I need to install PunBB and a separate CMS on the same domain in my server. PunBB is configured to run off the root, as is the CMS. So I want to put punbb in a folder one below the root. Can this be accomplished and how? What settings will need to be changed..?

I already have 2 installations of PunBB running so I'm familiar with it, but they're both using root (different domains).

TIA

There is nothing to it. You can place it in any folder you like. If you're moving a forum from one folder to another, just don't forget to updated your Base URL in admin/options.

Re: installing PunBB in non-root directory

one more question - which files/folders need to be CHMOD'd to 777 or whatever..?

the move went smooth.
