I created a new site with the multi-site mode just for the forum but I can’t put it in the root (forums.example.com). I can only put it in a subfolder (forums.example.com/forums). How can I fix this?

Sorry to hijack your question, but I raised a question yesterday as I am unable to get it on example.com/forums … how did you manage that?

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "your-htdocs/forums.example.com"

ServerName forums.example.com

</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "your-htdocs/example.com"

ServerName example.com

ServerAlias www.example.com

</VirtualHost>

on *apache-config-dir*/sites-available/default (*apache-config-dir*extrahttpd-vhosts.conf on windows) (or somewhere else)

hi zaerl, thanx for the fix, but it didn’t work on my case:

I wrote in my htaccess file

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot “/public_html/forumcine.ma/wordpress”

ServerName forumcine.ma

ServerAlias http://forumcine.ma

</VirtualHost>

this results in a 500 internal server error.

I don’t have access to httpd-vhosts.conf

How do you just get the forum index to show up on the homepage?

[@andrejcarter Participant 13 years, 6 months ago]

@cashman – Create a page, title it whatever you like but I titled my example “Forum”. Put “[bbp-forum-index]” including the brackets as the content of the page and publish it.

Then go to Settings -> Reading in the Admin panel. Change the “Front Page Displays” option to page and select “Forum” or whatever you named the page.

@Andre: Thanks, that was too easy!

Whatever this topic is too long time or not, I can still apply the way advised by Andre with bbPress 2.2.3

Really appreciated with your kind support Andre
