I have a phpbb forum on my root folder. I've installed a new forum on a subdir. Now I want to users type my domain without subdir name (-www.mydomain.com) and access my new board. The old one will be still readable by typing -www.mydomain.com/index.php I have put the following code to htaccess : DirectoryIndex subdir/index.php PHP: But it doesn't work. The index page is opening without images. The links are still visible. I do not want to use any redirection commands because of SEO purposes. What am I doing wrong?
