PhpBB question

I am sure there's a very simple answer to this, but I'm really lost, so any help would be appreciated!

I have just installed phpBB on my site. I can view it just fine when I access "mysite.com/forum/phpBB3/index.php".

What I want is to be able to see the forum when I type "mysite.com/forum" Right now, when I type that address, I see "Index of /forum" that shows "phpBB3/" as a folder.

I know it has to do with redirecting, but I'm not sure what/where to write so that anytime someone types "mysite.com/forum" they get sent to "mysite.com/forum/phpBB3/index.php" instead.

Please help!

 

If your forum is new, you should reupload it correctly instead of setting up redirects. Is it new?

 

You can easily edit it in the admin section once you move it

 

Just edit your vhost and create something like forums.mysite.com and point it to mysite.com/forum/phpBB3/index.php

make sure you make the appropriate DNS entry A record as well..

 

Download all phpBB3 files, upload them to forum directory
then
Go to mysql database, find phpBB3 base than look for table probably phpbb_config If I remember correctly. If you are using phpMyadmin click Browse.
Than update
server_name to mysite.com
script_path to /forum

 

Will moving the contents of the "phpBB3" folder to the "forum" folder work?

Edit: I just did that, and changed the script path to "/forum" and now it works.

Thanks a lot to everyone who replied!

 

With phpbb3 you should be able to just rename the directory then update your script path. phpbb3 ACP >server settings.

For your case though, I would just download all files inside "mysite.com/forum/phpBB3/"
then reupload them to "mysite.com/forum/"

When done; "mysite.com/forum/phpBB3/" should be empty and you can delete that directory.

 

Yes, but as people stated above, you will have to update the path in the admin panel.

 

I've updated the path, now it points to "/forum" instead of "/forum/phpBB3".

Thanks again everyone!
