MyBB Community Forums

I have MyBB installed on a subdirectory of my website, so I have to go "website.com/mybb" if I want to access it. Is there anyway to make MyBB open if I go to the index of my website? And if so, will the, "/mybb" be hidden?

I want to do something exactly like this, but I cannot adapt this for MyBB, maybe someone else can.

Have you tried altering htaccess?

You want www.site.com to show www.site.com/mybb?

I want it to do that, but I want the URL only to show http://site.com/index.php instead of http://site.com/mybb/index.php as well as any subsequent links clicked. Will using this htaccess do that? And where is the htaccess?

Just put MyBB in the root directory?

I would do that, but I have other stuff on my website, and I don't want to clutter the root.

I think just either set up a subdomain (looks cleaner to me), or put it in the root, and put something else in a different directory. Eventually you will have a lot of different directories and files on your site. Eventually, you will go through "Hmm, what was this directory for"... Making it clean would be great, but it isn't really worth all of the modifications, IMHO. People can handle a /directory or a subdomain.yoursite.com address.

A subdomain should be pretty easy to set up if your site runs on a server with cPanel installed.

I dont want to have a subdomain, I just want it accessible from the root of my domain, without actually being in the root. If wordpress can do it, why can't MyBB? How do I do it with htaccess?

Can no one help me?
