Ran into a wall with installation

ecbaker209

I am running into a wall trying to get this installed. I been working on it for about a week now. With many reinstalls. I think Im getting it now, just not able to get the correct path for site.php.

If I am correct It installs in front of the public_html, and the contents of the public goes in public_html or in a sub directory? I want mine in /forums, so I would assume everything in public goes in the forums directory.

This is where I get lost. Can someone help me?
/home/studios is where the flarum directory installed too.
public_html/forums is where I want the public files to be.

'base' => DIR,
'public' => DIR,
'storage' => DIR.'/storage',

Thank you!

@katos helped me with an install and was very good. Perhaps he can be of assistance.

If you want your site in /forums, put the entire contents in there, and move the contents of public to /forums also.

Then edit .htaccess and uncomment lines 9-15 in order to protect sensitive resources. For Nginx, uncomment lines 8-11 of .nginx.conf.

You will also need to edit the index.php file and change the following line:

$site = require './site.php';

Edit the site.php and update the paths in the following lines to reflect your new directory structure:

'base' => DIR,
'public' => DIR,
'storage' => DIR.'/storage',

Finally, check config.php and make sure the url value is correct.
