Can I install in a sub directory till conversion is done?

Then move it to the root? I have phpbb running in my root right now and need it to continue untill I get the forum imported.
Or can you tell me the best way to keep it running?

Yup, you can do it in a sub-directory then move it no problem

 

[LDW]

whats to best way?

 

[Slavik]

What do you mean? Just exactly as you say it... set it all up in a seperate folder, when your happy, import the data then move the files.. job done

I did precisely this before importing vB4 info into xenForo before putting it live.

In case you were expecting something difficult like having to update the path in your config files/database before anything worked... well, sorry, you'd be disappointed. It just works

After moving XF to root directory don't forget to change forum path in options -> basic board information
