XF 2.1 Move from root to /forums directory

[ForumLover]

I installed in the root of the domain yesterday and now feel it is smarter to run the forum in a mysite.com/forums directory. What exactly is the best way to move the forums?

I was thinking about just deleting it and reinstalling but setting up the categories took some time and I don't want to have to do it again. What is the best procedure and when moving files on Linux machine what files need to be moved?

What is meant by indexed links exactly?

 

[Ozzy47]

Indexed links by search engines.

That is not important on my forums. I have two posts there and they can reindex.

Then don’t worry about the redirection.

Thank you. I got the site moved and seems to be working ok in regards to the move. There are several other issues I am dealing with now but not really relevant to this post. Thank you for your help
