It works - via SSH Composer

wblz

Hello everyone,

some complications, but after the due minimum requirements has started..

the first installation is in a subfolder > mysite.com/discuss (perfect)
To switch from sub-folder to subdomain > discuss.mysite.com
I have to re-install or there is a simpler way?
tnx

Just move your files or change your webserver config to serve the existing install at the new address (the exact process will depend on your setup).

Then change the url setting in config.php with the new address.

This should be everything you need.

And of course, setup any redirect required if internal posts or external websites point to your old forum url.

Might also need to run php flarum cache:clear to guarantee any cached templates are cleared.

I knew it was better to install it directly into the subdomain... Oh well
now i do a check on my server what i can do...

Q.
- FLARUM is installed directly into the subdomain?
- Move all file with FTP ?

wblz what kind of hosting are you using ? Shared hosting, managed VPS or a custom setup ? What webserver are you using ? Apache/Nginx ?

Moving from a domain to another will depend on all that. You might also want to check your admin panel documentation if you're on cPanel or similar and unfamiliar with subdomain management.

If you have the knowledge to install it from scratch on a subdomain, you should be able to guess where to move your existing files ?

If you have SSH access I suggest you move files via mv, it will probably be done instantly compared to using a FTP application.

a few minutes ago he did not allow me to answer...

OK - Turn On ? in subdomain.misite.go

explain how: #1

move with SSH

mv /from /to
php flarum cache:clear

but even though it apparently seemed ok, it did not allow login and gave many other errors...
so I went to the strong manners ... that is

how: #2

removed all db content & all file... and reinstalled all over again with composer/symfony ?
that's all
