Help With Root Dir. Change | MyBB - -Infectious - 08-21-2011
Okay, well.. when I made my website, I used the directory "/forums" for the MyBB forums.
I want to change it from "/forums" to just be the root..
Right now it is this: http://themoddingsite.com/forums/
I want it to be this: http://themoddingsite.com/
I have redirects for http://themoddingsite.com/ so it goes to http://themoddingsite.com/forums right now.
How would I change it?
MyBB Admin CP, Or cPanel?
If it is Admin CP, how do I do it?
Please help, thanks.

It's both AdminCP and cPanel. You have to move all the contents of /forums/ to root. And then you have to go into AdminCP under general settings and change the directory of the forum and cookie path.

You didn't change the cookie path correctly then.
