MyBB Community Forums

How can you change the upload location to somewhere else like upload.example.com if the website is on example.com

Edit: please see post #5


move MyBB files to a sub-folder

open /inc/settings.php file in a code editor (eg. notepad++) and put correct (new) values for below variables

$settings['bburl'] = "________________";

$settings['cookiedomain'] = "____________";
$settings['cookiepath'] = "______________";
$settings['cookieprefix'] = "";
save the file

then log into admin panel (new address) and put again correct settings for below at the general configuration settings

Board URL | Cookie Domain | Cookie Path | Cookie Prefix
save the settings

see also cookie related guidance

Why do i need to move it to a sub folder and what do i need to change to the cookiedomain cookiepath and cookie prefix?

the steps mentioned above is to move your forum from example.com to xyz.example.com

$settings['cookiedomain'] = "xyz.example.com";
$settings['cookiepath'] = "/";
$settings['cookieprefix'] = "";



btw, do you want to move the entire forum to a subdomain or only the upload folder to a new location

You request seems to me like you want your uploads/images to be located at upload.example.com? So I assume you're asking how to create a CDN for MyBB?

There is a tutorial to integrate a CND with MyBB, although you'll also need to set up a CDN...
