Connecting main web page with forum from another account.

[wmvaux]

I am hosting 2 accounts.

One has been running for close to 5 years and the other is new which I hope to transfer the original forum to it in the future.

Currently I have my main web page in the original account with the file index.html

I have an updated web page which I want to use and I have that on the new account. There is no forum set up with the new account. I made the web page and have zipped it up and extracted it on the new account.

How do I get my original account to see the new one?

The reason why I have it on the new one it's it's clean and easier to work with. I don't want to go over the original one as it might be messy.

Do I need a forum installed in the new account to be able to read the files or is there a setting in the original account I can adjust?

Is there a php file that has the main webpage details in it.... like the index.html

What software are you using for the forum?

 

[wmvaux]

vBulletin 3.7

In includes/config.php you'll find what you seek I believe.

I couldn't see anything there that related to the main web page

Let's start over here, I must be misunderstanding you.

What is it, exactly, that you're trying to do?

I'm hosting a new account. No forum has been set up yet, but I have created a web page that I want to use on my other account that I am hosting which does have a forum.

Place it in your public_html.

yourdomain.com/index.html
Is the same as:

home/wmvaux/public_html/index.html


HTH!

Place it in your public_html.

yourdomain.com/index.html
Is the same as:

home/wmvaux/public_html/index.html


HTH!

It doesn't work, I've tried it twice. That's why I'm wondering if there needs to be a forum installed there for it to work. I was hoping it could work on it's own.

Does the domain.com open in your browser? If yes what do you see? If you upload an index.html as mentioned and open your domain.com do you see that index.html?

Without more details here, it's a bit tough to guess at what you're trying to do.
