Working with sub domain

[Christian7]

Hey guys, I'm working on a site and I wanted to put the forums in a subdomain like this:

forums.mysite.com

But whenever I make the subdomain and install the forums in there, this address also brings you to the forums: www.mysite.com/forums

I'm sure that isn't great for design/SEO.. I'm wondering how I can fix this? Thanks

Hi, you have to find some way to set the virtual host for forums.yoursite.com to the directory of forums;

E.g. setup forums.yoursite.com to /home/user/wwwroot/yoursite.com/forums/;

In Cpanel you can do that by:

- click on "sub domain"
- choose forums.yoursite.com on "sub domain" field
- type in "public_html/forums" in document root field
- click on "create" to finish it.

Also you have to point forums.yourdomain.com to your server's IP address, or *.yourdomain.com => your server ip address; (go to your domain's admin site to do that)
