Creating Installation Folder Question

becool

Quick question that i should already know :

I want my website to look like this to access the forum:

www.forum.xxxxxx.com

If I created a folder named "forum" to unzip the installation files to, then after the installation will i have to type :

www.forum.xxxxxx.com/forum

in order to access the forum?

Thanks

You can get your sub domain to point to the /forum/ directory. Check out your hosting dashboard/control panel.

If you're on linux, you can do what we did. We used the following .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ garden/$1 [QSA,L]
In your case, replace 'garden' with 'forum'.
