Hello!

I'd like to move my forum from http://www.website.com to http://forum.website.com .

Which files and which SQL strings do I need to change?

Thanks in advance.
You don't really have to change much. You have to make sure the subdomain is linked to for example http://www.website.com/forum and then, if everything is placed it that directory. You should edit the file inc/settings.php (if you can't access admincp correctly) and change $settings[bburl] into the subdomain url. If that's done, go to adminCP >> Options >> Change >> General Board Options and change the board url on that page too.
Move your files into where your subdomains reside. Then go into your Admin control panel --> Settings --> General Configuration and change the board URL, and cookie settings to suit. Your MySQL information should be the same, so you don't need to touch the config or move the database. (assuming it's located on the same server as the previous)
