I setup vbulletin for a site that is just a plain old forum.

www.domain.com goes straight to the forum, except that /admin/ which is a feature of vbulletin won't work because cobalt uses /admin/ for administration purposes....

any suggestions on ways to work around this...?

we had a similar problem w/ a costumers shopping card.

the annoying thing is that cobalt's /admin/ isn't for any use for vsite owners and it's hard to explain to them ("why are you using my domain to admin your server?")

we thought of editing httpd.conf and either
1.) rename the RewriteRule ^/admin/?$ to something else, or
2.) move the /admin/ rewrite to our admin vsite
but finally we weren't that brave and just edited the shopping card to work w/ another path... :blush:

Actually yes, been there. Type in the full path (including file name), like:

http://www.domain.com/admin/admin.php or whatever the file is and you'll have no problems. I'd also throw an .htaccess file in there to protect the vBull admin folder itself.
