Adding and upgrading forums

[Valeriex]

I have an XMB forum (1.6) installed at my domain, and I've made a few modifications to it. If I upgrade to phpBB 2.0.2, will it change the entire layout of the forums? Will I lose anything by doing this?

Also, I wanted to install a second forum for a multi-hosted domain. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help.

I'm sure this is not what you're asking but I have similar setup.

I have two forums. one for my family and the other one for my friends. The family forum is on my main domain and the other one on my multi-hosted domain. But I don't know XMB. I am running Postnuke with PNphpBB2 module ported on it. I didn't have any problem.

At a bare minimum, you need to upgrade to 1.8 ASAP. XMB 1.6 is buggier than a lollipop in an ant farm; full of security holes. Gotta run...

The family forum is on my main domain and the other one on my multi-hosted domain.

Can you add a forum to a multi-hosted domain from the control panel?

I installed PHPBB2 awhile back. But I don't remember having trouble using CP. But I remember something about being able to only install one dBase but I think this is just because of CP. (so I guess it semi-answered your Q. In other words I'm not 100% sure )

As soon as they've release a mod for phpBB2 on Postnuke. I installed PN with phpBB on both my main domain and my multi-hosted domain with no problem. I used the full install using SSH tho. And some ppl here are prety -biased using CP.

I have no prior coding exp. but if you are interested. PM me and I'll tell you how I installed it using SSH. If I can do it anyone can.

What's confusing me is that the control panel doesn't seem to be able to install any PHP directly to a multi-hosted domain. Like if I have doman.com and multihosted.com, I know I can do domain.com/forum and domain.com/community, but can I do multihosted.com/forum?

Am I right in thinking that a multi-hosted domain just forwards to a subdomain? So would I have to do subdomain.domain.com/community?

If I go to the XMB thing on the CP, it doesn't give me the option to install anywhere other than domain.com, so I guess I couldn't install to the subdomain, right?

Under the PHP Auto-Installer, if I go to PHP-Nuke, the default site URL is domain.com/community. Can I do multihosted.com/community?

Gah, now I'm just confusing myself and showing my ignorance of things. Thank you so much for your help though.
