Topic: Changing the home directory...

Is there any guides or anything that would help me out here.  I have been considering changing the directory that my PunBB is installed in. It's currently in http://domain.com/forums/   I would like to move it too http://domain.com (instead of doing a redirect to the PunBB Forums I use).

I know you can change where the home directory is in your admin settings, but do you have to do anything else other than move all the files and file structures over to the correct directory?

I think not, I had to change from /punbb/ to /forum/ after I'd completed the migration and everything works like a charm...

Really?  It's that easy?  If so, then that's just incredibly awesome.  I've tried to move some other installations of forums and other things and it's a royal pain in the ___. I'd be very impressed if that's all it takes big_smile

Hey. When you did it, did you move change the directory in PunBB admin first or did you change the directory and then try to change it?

Don't remember, I think I first changed it in the admin directory...

Just go ahead and do it, if it doesn't work you can alway copy it back untill you find the problem smile
