I'm not much of an FTP expert but I do know the basics. Would it be possible to go on my FTP program, download all of my /forum directory to my computer, delete the /forum directory from cPanel, then upload the /forum directory from my computer to my site's root directory? If so, which FTP program does this best? PS. If this won't work, I'll go for option #3 cause it sounds good to me.

Well, I spent hours setting up the board preferences, forums, skins, mods and much more. Is there a way to transfer it to the main directory while not losing all those settings? If not, I'll just wait for the next version to come along.

Yea, I just want to make a forums site. I couldn't find any way for cPanel to install it in the main directory.

Thanks for the code Andy! So now, if I insert the meta tags into "mysite.com/forums/index.php" and sumbit it to the search engines as "mysite.com", it would still be acceptable to the search engines, correct?

ok, so what I'll do is remove the main "index.php" redirect and instead use .htaccess to redirect "mysite.com" to "mysite.com/forums/index.php". Then i'll insert the meta tags in the "mysite.com/forums/index.php" page and this should be search engine safe. If I am incorrect, please correct me. Also, if anyone knows the .htaccess code for redirection, please post it here (I assume dsdemmin knows). Thanks

Hi, I recently installed Invision Power Board using cPanel and I set it to install in the /forums directory. I set my main index.html so that when people go to www.****, it would automatically redirect to www.****/forums. Actually I had to rename the index file to index.php because it was a PHP script that redirects to the /forums directory. I forgot the code but it's something like "Set Location Bar". The redirection works fine, however... I heard there is a way to redirect using .htaccess. Is it better if I use .htaccess? I want to submit my site to the search engines but I haven't done so yet because I don't know if I should add the meta tags to index.php, or /forums/index.php, or both. What should I do?
