[CMS] How do I get straight to my site?

[arg617]

I've searched but can't figure out how to get straight to my website using vBulletin.

My site is www.dobforum.com

That takes me to an "Index of" page. I really want it to take me straight to what clicking on "forums" takes me to, the CMS(?).

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this so the results my searches have taken me to are a bit too technical and seem to make certain assumptions about what should be common knowledge.

Can someone please post an easy to follow step-by-step on how to get straight to the CMS when typing in just the domain in the address bar?

Thank you!

That is an issue you need to fix via htaccess or your httpd.conf file. You may need to talk to your host about this.

You could create an index.php page to redirect to /forums/forum.php or you could also just not have all your vbulletin files in the /forums folder and instead add them to your root. Is there a reason you have them all in the /forums folder and not the root?

I'm not really sure why I have them all in the /forums folder. I thought I was just following along with the directions.

Are you saying that I can remove all the files from the "forums" folder and just dump them into the public directory?

A lot of people just put them all in the root folder. I know that it isn't that way here or over at vb.org, but it is pretty common. Most users who don't do it that way do it because they have other plans for the root folder.

OK. I just reinstalled vBulletin into the root directory but now have another issue. If you go to my site now it seems like all the formatting has been lost. Now what????

In AdminCP check your forum path is correct
