I’ve got a phpbb forum set up in the ROOT of the website…for example [website.com/](http://website.com/) is the forum directory. i want to move it to [website.com/forum](http://website.com/forum) so i can add a homepage, etc in the root

how would I do this?

i know i can simply move all the files and change the config in the admin panel to state the current directory (/forum)

but is there anything else i have to do? change any mysql or anything like that?

Thanks :}
