[Solved] how to rename vanilla forum folder

stewiek

Hi, earlier on i created a temporary folder to install my vanilla.
example: www.xyx.com/vanilla

now i would like to rename to www.xyz.com/forum

how do i do that? I tried boldly renaming it and then clear the cache but later it shows
vanilla/index.php not found.

how do i fix that? please help.

sounds like your .htaccess rewrite root.

post your .httaccess between three tildes

you have to also change .htaccess and uncomment the line
if you haven't done so already.

 # Certain hosts may require the following line.
   # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /. 
   # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
   # RewriteBase /

Did you use a special script or the standard phpBB script?
