MyBB Community Forums

My forums are at forums.mysite.con and I want my portal to be at mysite.com how do I achieve this?

I asked this exact same thing. Here's the answer, my way.

Open your .htaccess and enter this:

DirectoryIndex forums/portal.php

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Not working But I don't know if i added correctly

Well, I'm unsure if there has to be a preceding slash in the path because I just have DirectoryIndex portal.php... Sorry if I miswrote it. ^^;

Can you paste your .htaccess.

I guess.

Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

DirectoryIndex portal.php

PHP Error Message

Warning: require_once(.//global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/a2437232/public_html/portal.php on line 35



PHP Error Message

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './/global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/a2437232/public_html/portal.php on line 35

Thats what i get

Hm. Sorry, I'm not much of a true MyBB support guy and apologize if I'm providing the wrong information that regular support guys would offer.

Just to ask, why is there an additional slash in the 'global.php' area? It should only be one slash.

Can anyone else help

Thanks Kazuto
