MyBB Community Forums

I am new to MyBB, so please forgive me if this question seems naive.

Can someone please help point me towards documentation (if it exists) that will help me in installing MyBB is a less than standard way? I've done a quick browse of the forum here, but perhaps I just don't know the correct search terms.

I am hoping to be able to use MyBB as a single forum operating under multiple URL's/Domains

That is, there would be two domains:

www.city1domain.com/forum
www.city2domain.com/forum

That would lead to the same MyBB forums, and ideally without redirecting.

Is this possible? How would I go about starting to do this?

Many thanks for any help you can provide or point me towards.

You can try these but I wouldn't be surprised if you still have issues with logging in and general usability.

Personally I would stick to one domain, this will be better for SEO and it will less confusing. If you use a .htaccess redirect people won't even know they have been redirected.

Although if you use one database for both that would probably work.

Thanks so much for all the help.

Now I'll get busy trying to make it all work..

If you don't use the same server for both sites, to use the same database you would have to use PHPmyAdmin to tell it to use a remote MySql server.
