PhpBB install

[webscorpion]

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

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

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

Time to learn

Thanks, JP.

if your installing a new board phpbb will take care of all this for you

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]

all the phpbb files should be in the public_html directory

what kind of errors do you get?

Made the move successfully.

Many thanks to you JP and Adam :tu:

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

Changed title successfully :loveyou:

Thanks.
