[Forum] Forum does not show on root url

[storm88]

Installed vb4 on public_html. However when you go to www.mysite.com it redirects to www.mysite.com/forum.php. I have looked at all my settings and they are set to www.mysite.com but the site still redirects to www.mysite.com/forum.php. How do I change this?

You don't. Forum.php is the name of the script file for the home page. Basically the same as index.html or index.php on most other sites.

Edit - There may be a way to rewrite it, but I don't think there is a setting in the ACP for it.

I've seen a numerous sites without the /forum.php so I think it can be done.

Hello

it seems that you have disabled your CMS from the Products page in your Admin CP, but your index.php still call content.php (as the default)

go to your index.php source

comment this

require('content.php'); 

then remove the comment from this

// require('forum.php'); 

save & upload

then things will be fine

Worked like a charm. Thanks!
