How do I change the path so that the phpbb forum will appear on a page that I select? Thank you again for your help. It is very much appreciated. |
When you install phpBB, you are asked to specify a directory in which your forums will be placed. This directory should not exist, and you don't need to create it, that will be done during the install. Some people name their directory Forums or Message Board, but you can call it anything you want.
It sounds like you accidentally installed directly into your public_html directory. If that's the case, simply uninstall (using Fantastico to do so), and then reinstall taking care to name your directory correctly when the time comes to do so. Once finished, you'll be able to go to
http://yoursite.com/forum (or whatever you named the directory) to view your forum.
Good luck.
