I have a sub domain where I would like to add a forum to. However in cpanel it states I can only add a phpBB to a top level domain ie the address of the phpBB will not be as if it is coming from the subdomain but from the main site, is there a way of getting round this ie making the phpBB in cpanel look as if it is coming from the subdomain?

thanks

I assume you are using the open installer in cPanel

ensure that your folder and subdomain for your subdomain does not exist


then create a new phPBB install /subdomain (directory)

after install create the subdomain subdomain.domain.com

the log into PHPMYADMIN

and chage these varibles in your config table

server_name to subdomain.domain.com
script_path to /

done

I am sorry but I do not see a server_name in the php_config table nearest I have seen was a domain.com, or a script_p[ath which path are these located?

my apologies if my questions are too easy but I have looked around for sometime and haven't seen a server_name or script_path

thanks

Edit your mysql table in phpmyadmin

phpbb_config

there is 3 pages on page 2

thanks seen it now didn't know there was more than 1 page

Another way is to add the subdomain you want to use and then manually install phpBB2 which is very easy to do.
