Install on existing server also used for vB 3.8?

[joshg]

Thanks!
I've created a folder within my public_html called XF. I uploaded the contents of the "upload" directory from my purchased XF to that folder: www.{mydomain}/public_html/XF
I now can't get the installer to run. Since the answer above was that it is fine to create a new folder for the installation, why is the installer not running at the URL www.{mydomain.com}/public_html/XF/install ?

I know I'm supposed to upload to the server root directory, but since I don't want to harm my vbulletin server, I was hoping to make a separate folder for XF and upload everything there and then run the installer. Any advice?

Thanks

XF will work in any directory - it doesn't need to be in the root.

What is the actual URL?

Thank you. I'm sure you're correct... i guess the real question is will the INSTALLER work from any directory, or only the root?

Yeah, the XF (and the installer and everything else by extension) will work fine in any directory.

I noticed you're trying to access it at http://example.com/public_html/XF/install/, but typically the public_html directory is the root directory of your domain. Try http://example.com/XF/install/

It will work wherever the XF files are.

Ummm...

Thank you, yes, that was it.
