Hi,

Version 1.4.11

I am having trouble going to my forum.
www.myforum.com. (goes to Hosting - courtesy of bluehost site)
www.myforum.com/forum (works perfectly!)

I know I must be missing something as I should be able to get into the board without the /forum.

I tried putting the index.php file under the root directory, but that just produced an error.

Structure with the host is...

myforum
admin
other directories
index.php

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You shall not move the index.php file, is the problem that you can't make the forum... or?

Hi Zimon,

I can make the forum fine and it works. It's just that I cannot get into it unless I add /forum at the end of the url.

Deleted sorry. Im an idiot lol.

Yes, it's working perfectly correctly, if you haven't told it to load the forum folder when it's not in the URL, it won't load it. Make a file called .htaccess in the root folder and put this in it:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/forum$1 [R=301,L]
