    mydomain.com/forum
    to become :
    forum.mydomain.com ?


    vB5 is unequivocally the best forum software, but not yet...

      Your host/server control panel is where you'd go to do this.

            If you're trying to have your forum on a site like:

            forum.yourwebsite.com

            vBulletin does not have control over this. You'll have to set up a subdomain with your host, and then you can set up vBulletin just as you normally would.

                My domain is: shapemeup.org . I want to have my forum on, forum.shapemeup.org . I created the subdomain, but when I search for forum.shapemeuo.org, i get redirected to shapemeup.org/forum/forum.php

                What to do?

                  There are some comments on that article that describe the same issue. HostGator staff says you need to "remove the redirect."

                      Perhaps you could contact HostGator staff via live chat, email, or phone.

                        After your subdomain is effective, you must put the new url in your admin cp.
