Customizing path according to docs doesn't work

YoungJinKim

Hi, I'm trying to customize my flarum path so that the site is hosted on www.abc.com/forum instead of www.abc.com. But it doesn't work even though I followed the instructions in the docs. There's a few points I want to clarify

When the doc states "Simply move all the files inside the public directory (including .htaccess) into the directory you want to serve Flarum from." What should the location of the new directory be?
Do I need to update DocumentRoot from /path/to/flarum/public to /path/to/flarum/forum?

If you installed Flarum to say /path/to/website/forum then the full directory for a regular install would be /path/to/website/forum/public however what you want to do is a flat directory install. So you would move everything from inside the /path/to/website/forum/public director to /path/to/website/forum and then make the modifications in the docs to set the new paths for Flarum. Your root directory would be something like /path/to/website as I'm assuming you have a main website that you want to show visitors. Flarum would then be a subdirectory to that main website.
