Move forum from another server

[redwolf6]

Hello,

My website is xxx.com and my forum is located on another server via this link forums.xxx.com

I want to move my forum to xxx.com/forums/ because I think it's better for me for the future.

1) How can i do that?
2) Will that affect my SEO?

Thank you!

See the FAQ.

You will need to set up redirects.

Moving the files are easy.

Thanks

After you move the database do not forget to update the database details in the config.php file too to match those of the database in the new host.

A server move is basically a backup + restore across servers:
