Full Version: Moving installation from directory to base

I have recently started a forum with mybb 1.6.8 using facebook theme in a subdirectory. Everything seems fine and have completed all necessary modifications and tweaks. Now I wish to take my site live but don't know how to move my installation from mysite.com/mybb to mysite.com
Login to your Admin CP, close the board, change cookie settings, change board url, save everything. After that go to your Cpanel move files from /mybb folder to root and everything should be fine.
Thank you jovan, but don't you think some changes to .htaccess is necessary?

No, it's not necessary. Maybe if you want to redirect your url to other but if you are moving it no.
Thank you again. I shall try out now and get back if any issue arises (hope to find help here again).
