Running forum from root directory?

Postby Porthiir » Mon Nov 04, 2013 12:57 am

I have installed phpBB3 - it is running fine, however it is running from http://www...com/phpbb/index.php

I am using the domain for the sole purpose of hosting this forum, there will be no other pages stored on this site.

Is it possible to either move the installation to the root directory or would I have to do a redirect (which I do not know how to do either) so that when people type in the main url they go directly to the forum.

If it's a standard install, using our files, just move the contents of the phpbb directory up one level.
