Hi,
I just set up my new forum, but I obviously did something wrong. Can anyone please tell me how to remove the path from the following URL:
http://www.pinboardforum.com/mybb_1608/Upload/
I just want the domain and port to like the following:
http://www.pinboardforum.com/
Can I change this through the MYBB admin panel, or is this done through the web hosting provider?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Go to your FTP or file manager and do the following.
1. Copy all the files in the upload folder
2. Paste all the files in the public_html folder.
3. Delete MyBB_1608
What you did wrong was that, you uploaded the whole entire MyBB Download package. You were only suppose to upload the contents inside of the "upload" folder. Nothing else.
Copy all the files from mybb_1608/Upload/ to the domain root; then change the bburl and coookie settings in inc/settings.php. After that, login to the Admin Control Panel and you can change the settings in there to complete the process.

Oh yeah I forgot.
After you pasted all the files in the public_html folder. Go to inc/settings.php then do the following.
STEP 1
Search for
$settings['bburl'] = "http://www.pinboardforum.com/mybb_1608/Upload/";
Change it to
$settings['bburl'] = "http://www.pinboardforum.com/";
STEP 2
Search for
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".pinboardforum.com/mybb_1608/Upload/";
Change it to
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".pinboardforum.com";
Then go your admin control panel>Configuration>Setting>General Configuration and change your site url to pinboardforum.com and cookie domain to .pindboardforum.com
Looks like this is solved
