go to your provider CPanel Request new subdomain or add-on domain. This will give the website Another adress that if typed in will redirect to your page.
(e.g. cpanel.lazbit.com -> Login -> Domains -> Addon - Domain/ Sub-Domain)
Hope this works for you.
@Shaymangops: Thanks for your answer.
Addon - Domain/ Sub-Domain did not redirect to actual domain but parked domain does.
Actually I don't want to redirect, rather want the
http://www.forum.insightsintechnology.com/ subdomain as the actual web-address.
My Blog
go to cpanel > subdomains.
Create new subdomain forum.domain.com and park it to /subs/forum
copy all your forum root files to ./subs/forum folder on your host.
open ./subs/forum/inc/config.php and change forum url to
http://forum.domain.com
\u'r done
i'm sorry. but you need to edit these files, not config.php
./subs/forum/inc/settings.php
find
$settings['bburl'] = "http://www.domain.com";
replace
http://forum.domain.com with
http://domain.com
find
$settings['cookiedomain'] = ".domain.com";
replace .domain.com with .forum.domain.com
@MyBB King: Thanks for your reply. Your instruction helped me partially.
Actually I had the forum at different address
http://www.insightsintechnologyforum.tk/
and the blog at other address
http://www.insightsintechnology.com/
So, no question of setting a sub domain.
Moreover the blog is set at blogger.
So, I created a subdomain in my domain registrar (godaddy) and pointed that to my webhost.
I copied all the contents of my previous forum to the new address after adding the later as an add-on domain.
Now I created a new MySQL database and added its new values to inc/config.php & inc/settings.php. Also I changed some values (website address) in .htaccess that was added due to a plugin.
Next I exported all the tables from phpMYAdmin from the old forum and opened that file (e.g. u344584273_forum.sql) in notepad changed u344584273_forum with my new database name. and saved the file as newdatabasename.sql. Next I imported that file to the phpMyAdmin of my new forum.
Now everything worked fine.
