Could someone please tell me or point me to directions of how to change the forum's folder name properly?  Can't seem to find it while searching.

I have 2.0 rc4 running fine, but I would like to rename the folder I installed the software to.

I have installed to hxxp:www.sitename.com/ncaa [nonactive] and would like to just change it to /forum or something else... trying to expand my site to stuff beyond NCAA ;)

thanks for any help

Rename the folder, and download repair_settings.php.

Upload it to the "new" folder, and run it in your browser.

Change everything with "ncaa" to the new folder's name (like "forum") so your paths may look like this /home/ablablabla/public_html/forum (may differ by your type of server).

That's it!

Make sure to remove the repair_settings.php file when you are done.
