MyBB Community Forums

Hello,
I have a website that has both Wordpress in the homepage and myBB forum.

The general tree:
- http://www.Website.com - WP
- http://www.Website.com/forum - MyBB

At first I didnt use SSL certificate, but I started using it. The new SAFE addresses are the following:

- https://www.Website.com - WP
- https://www.Website.com/forum - MyBB

The http website is in public_html folder, the https - private_html.

Now it is obvious that I do NOT need a website without SSL. So:

   1. Should I just REMOVE the public_html folder and leave the private_html as it is?

   2. Or maybe I should use a second feature? In DirectAdmin administration panel I have two features:

   - first one uses catalogue named private_html (thats the feature I use)

   - second one enables user to access the same website through http and https (if selected - private_html folder is erased) 


What I want to achieve is simply what you get when you enter e.g. reddit. Regardless of whether you type http or https you will be taken to an SSL protected website. 

Thanks in advance!

PS: I do not advertise reddit, its just an example.

Most likely you can remove the private_html and only have one copy of your site in html_public, however this depends entirely on how your hosting works - so you should confirm with them about this.

Thanks for a quick answer!
But shouldnt SSL-certifitied website always be in private_html? Isnt this folder "reserved" for SSL?

No, not always, but it could be that your host is configured that way and requires you to do that.
