phpBB install

webscorpion · 04-23-2004, 05:38 AM

Can I install phpBB in the main directory?

For example: "domain.com/" and not in "domain.com/forum"

thanks.

yup

just copy the files into the root folder of your webpage and it will do it

webscorpion · 04-23-2004, 06:47 AM

Sounds easy

But I can be so dumb at times. Will let you know how it turns out.

You've been much help, Adam.

Greatly appreciated

make sure that your config info and your cookie paths in your settings are all correct otherwise you will get errors

webscorpion · 04-23-2004, 06:55 AM

Now, it's starting to get complicated on my part

Time to learn

Thanks, JP.

I tried moving the phpBB Forum to the main directory, to no avail. Do I have to replace the public_html directory? I hope someone can guide me through the steps necessary

TIA

adam_uk · 04-24-2004, 05:05 AM

all the phpbb files should be in the public_html directory

what kind of errors do you get?

bensontwenty · 04-24-2004, 08:46 AM

Ed - pm replied to along with a couple of useful links

webscorpion · 04-24-2004, 08:02 PM

Made the move successfully.

Many thanks to you JP and Adam

One more question, though:
Where do I edit the Title and Meta Tags?

Thanks,

Ed

/templates/TEMPLATENAME/overall_header.tpl

template name should be the folder where your template is stored

and if your using a older version of phpbb the folder may be template instead of templates

webscorpion · 04-25-2004, 03:24 AM

Changed title successfully

Thanks.
