Hey all

I am about to install and have a question. I want my vbadvanced to be the home page of my site. So when people type (www.mysite.com) they get to the vb page first. I currently have the vbulletin as my (www.mysite.com/forums). So my question is when it says this which part should i follow the ignore or do this step?

Note: If you intend to use this software in the same directory as your vBulletin forum and plan to upload the cmps_index.php file to your vBulletin forum's directory (ex: /forum/cmps_index.php) then you may skip this step.

In your cmps_index.php file:

Open your cmps_index.php file in this folder and find:
$forumpath = '';
Add the full path to your forum on your server between the '' marks here.

Not sure how to find your path?

Not sure how to find your path?You need to:

Open your cmps_index.php file in this folder and find:
$forumpath = '';
Add the full path to your forum on your server between the '' marks here.

And then upload cmps_index.php to your root home (not forum home). then rename cmps_index.php to index.php if you want it to be your site home page automatically. You can always rename then upload - it's up to you.
