vBadvanced testing not in root

[M_OReilly16]

Hello,
I am dying to try out vBadvanced on my site. But I have a few concerns first. I am using Postnuke for my main site which is in my root directory. My vBulletin forums are in my /forums directory. Is there a way I can install vBadvanced so I can test it out?

For example can I have it so its installed in www.mysite.com/vbadtest ?

I am trying to avoid touching anything in my root becasue of my Postnuke CMS. This is my bread and butter to my site, but I want to try out vbadvanced as well on my site.

Can someone give me some options I can use so that I can install vBadvanced on my website so it's not on my homepage?

Thank you,
Matt

everything in the "forum" folder needs to be uploaded to your "forums" directory. The cmps_index.php, however, could be uploaded where you want to be uploaded to as long as you editing $forumpath = ''; to point where your forums directory is. For example:

$forumpath = '/home/username/public_html/forums';

plus, you can still upload it to your root directory without having to hurt your Postnuke CMS. You just have to remember to type in mysite.com/cmps_index.php (or rename cmps_index.php to whatever you want to use, just remember to edit the settings in the control panel after installing to point to the correct file).

If you need any more help, just ask.
