Hi guy's,

I have a vps where my game website is already running and i need assistance on how to add a mybb board for my community.

I am under ubuntu 20.04 on my vps and i have a lemp stack already running, i have my nginx server block for my game website and i don't know how to connect my board to this setup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and i will send you a free copy of my game if you like fps.

Regards Peter
Hello Peter,

The easiest way is creating a subfolder, e.g. https://YOURSITE.com/forum

Then copy all MyBB files from the download package into /forum and run the installer to setup MyBB.
So you can still reach YOURSITE.com as well as your forum

In addition you can create a subdomain, e.g. https://forum.YOURSITE.com and let this subdomain direct to your directory /forum
