Howdy,
I'm running phpbb3.0.1 already and want to install the premod. I was thinking of doing the following.

Installing the premod in a different folder as a new install.

Installing it and getting it up and running still in a seperate folder then my current forum.

At the end, simply change the database information and then change the path to the new premod install.

Would this work? The only reason I would see it not working is if the premod changes the database of the currently existing phpbb3.0.1 installation in
which case the new premod would be using the old database which would not be configured correctly.

Thanks a lot,
Matt

There is not much DB change when installing the premod over phpBB3, the complete procedure to install the premod over phpBB3 (same version) is described on this thread : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/phpbb-seo-premod/discussions-vt1962.html

The important thing is to keep the same folder name in the end, otherwise you'd have to redirect all the urls from the old dir to the new one.
