Moving to Subdomain....

[MordyT]

If I wanted to move my forum to a subdomain, what paths and where would I update?

Update this setting:

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Basic Board Information -> Board URL

That should do it.

Then be sure to copy all of the forum files to the new location. Be mindful that attachments and avatars are stored in the data directory.

You need to configure your server and your DNS ...

So only that one path?

Yep. All other paths and locations in the software are relative and don't need to be updated when you move the forum.

You seem to not understand. I already have my forum on the server, just want to change the URL a bit. Physically the files aren't even moving folders, I am just pointing a subdomain to that folder that they are in now. The server works already, the dns works, the forum works. Just moving to a subdomain...

I appreciate your help, and the help of Jake very much. My question is resolved, let the thread die.
