Otsikko: how to install smf to /forum
Kirjoitti: dta.register - kesäkuu 05, 2011, 06:23:47 AP
this may sound funny.

but i recently subscribed to a webhost and i want to install smf in my site.

I want the url to be

www[dot]mysite[dot]com/forum

I can't seem to get it right.

I was able to install it at www[dot]forum[dot]mysite[dot]com

but that's not what i really wanted to do.

Im new so please help..

Thanks

lol, nice one.

It isn't easy for a first-time SMFer. But as time comes, it will all get easier for you :)

Marked as solved for you.

Morn paularo,

Probably not because in order to give global moderators permission to administrate forum and database you would have to be an administrator.  How do you have a site and not be the administrator of the site ?

paularo please open a separate thread for your issue, it can get lost here as this is someone elses thread and it is marked solved.
