XF 2.2 download xenforo as domain or subdomain

[amitkumar]

I am new customer
and ideally I would like forums to be
community.mydomain.com/forums

So when I download xenforo
Do I register domain or subdomain?
Thanks In Advance ?

You register your domain as e.g. example.com and it is your choice if your installation runs at sub.example.com or www.example.com or example.com/forums

Just example.com have to match.

But it make no sense for using community.example.com/forums, just community.example.com or example.com/forums

If you are asking what to enter against the license, just enter the actual URL where XF will be installed.

What's do you mean by "actual URL "
I have a domain registered as "example.com"
But I want forum as "abc.example.com"

What do I enter ?
1. "example.com"
2. "abc.example.com"

I have a domain registered as "example.com"
But I want forum as "abc.example.com"

Create a folder named abc
Install your forum into that folder so it will be example.com/abc
If you create a subdomain named abc then your forum will be accessible as:
example.com/abc AND abc.example.com as well.

1. "example.com"
2. "abc.example.com"

1. "example.com". You connect a xenForo license with your domain.

You will be able to place your forum at "example.com" or "example.com/forum/" or community.example.com. It's up to you and your needs.

2. "abc.example.com"

You should use this one, as this is the real location of your forum.
If you would enter 'example.com' as your XF license, you would get a mismatch error in your control panel.

Agreed, this would be the proper way to enter the URL.
