Hello! I have another question... :laugh: I can now reach my forum via the URL "Domain.net/smf/index.php". But I want it to be reachable with the URL "Domain.net" so just the domain without any slashes. Is that possible and if yes: how?
Thank you :)

Best way to go would be to just install (or move) smf to the root instead of the /smf/ folder.
Then simply going to your domain.tld should load the forum on most hosts with no extra config needed.

if moving your already existing forum from a folder to the root of your site, make sure to run the repair settings afterwards to fix all urls and paths

And also make sure, that all other paths are going right, maybe implemented from mods or portals.
