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

    ~~~
    code goes here
    ~~~
    

    grep is your friend.

  • 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 /
    

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

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