When I uploaded the files using Filezilla I labeled the folder Upload. I have installed MyBB and it is running fine. My problem is my URL.
When I enter
www.mydomain.com It takes me to the "This site is coming soon page".
In order to get to my forum the URL has to be
www.mydomain.com/Upload
I really don't want people to have to type the /Uploads to get to the forum.
Any ideas on what I did wrong? I don't know if I need to change the directory listing on the server or if I entered something wrong during MyBB installation.
you uploaded the folder instead of its contents?

Yes. I was told I could transfer the entire upload folder instead of each file individually.
Lol, you only need to upload all the files within the 'Upload' folder, not the whole folder, hence why your url is now '/Upload'

LOL. I had a feeling that was it. So next question. How do I fix it? Can it be fixed without loosing all the stuff I've done to the forum?
Edit your Board URL and Cookie Path in the ACP General Configuration settings, and move the files.

Okay I moved the files and changed the borard URL. I'm not sure what to put for the Cookie Path though.
If your URL was
http://www.mydomain.com/Upload/ and is now
http://www.mydomain.com/ then the cookie path would be /
You might not be able to stay logged in now though if you moved the files before changing it, so you may need to edit it in ./inc/settings.php, then in the ACP afterwards.

I screwed something up. I moved the files out of the Upload folder to the main directory listing. I changed the cookie path from /Upload/ to / in .inc/settings.php.
Now neither URL works. I get a 500 Internal Server Error.
