If your IP.Board site runs from the root of your web space, i.e. "/" would it be possible to keep it running after converting to XF and putting XF at the root (maybe by changing the IPB index.php file to something else?).
There would likely be a post-migration requirement to access the IPB site/data/features to pull some of it over to XF add-ons e.g.; blogs, gallery images, file downloads, etc.
Anyone done this or know whether it would be possible?
The only alternative I can think of is to install XF under "/forums" and move it back to root once the IPB data had been copied over and the IPB software removed; but I expect that would screw up SEO/listings as the paths would all be changed twice in a short time period?
Any advice or thoughts appreciated.
Cheers,
Shaun
