Change of installation directory
I installed GF to /gforum and it works fine.

I would prefer it to have been to /forum, really just a change in directory name.

Any suggestions? Warnings? How to's?
Have a nice day!

Hi,

It's not that easy unfortunately. You need to:

1. Update all .cgi with the new paths.
2. Update the config file in admin/GForum/Config/Data.pm with the new paths.

Cheers,

Alex

I think that the feature of editing templates online is great. It's fast and secure and with the restore concept it's unbeatable.

However, I kinda like to have backups so I have duplicated my gforum on my local PC (Win98se). I will eventually get my win98/apache system put back together and that may eliminate some of by backup concerns and have other benefits as well.

But, back on topic. I think that I used to have one, or maybe you can recommend one, a text editor that would do a search and replace on multiple files. Right now, I don't know how many cgi files are involved. Not that it makes a difference how many there are, just knowing which they are.

I'll pend the thought for right now.

Thanks for your response.
Have a nice day!
