Ok, I've just tried to replicate the problem but am unable to do so. Does the WWW_ROOT_DIRK differ from DATA_ROOT in your installation?

Yes due to three reasons

It felt safer not having DATA_ROOT in a browsable part of the file system.
I didn't read anything disadvantageous about it.
I had in mind easilly deploying the forum in multiple instances.

As a clarification I'll shortly mention the way the service provider (surftown.se) works.

Me and my girlfriend have three domains. Each web-enabled domain and sub domain will get its own folder within our account's non-browsable home folder. The structure is like below:
~/
.._data/
....FUDforum_data_root/ this is my data root
.........
..domain1.nu/
..forum.domain1.nu/
....forum/ www root for the forum
.........
....install/ where I kept install.php
..domain2.net/
..domain3.net/
.....

Citat:

The install process under safe_mode should be perfomed in the following way.

Copy install.php into the directory which will be the parent directory of where the forum is to be installed. For the duration of the install make sure that this directory is writeable by the webserver. Then running the installer specify the directory where to install it, in safe_mode situation keep DATA_ROOT and WWW_ROOT_DISK the same directory. If you follow these steps you should be able to create new themes via the FUDforum interface.

So, what I should have done is to have the following structure, right?
~/
.....
..forum.domain1.nu/ put install.php here during installation
....forum/ www root and data root
.........
.....

Does this proposed solution give me any side-effects or downsides as of the three reasons I wrote above?

Did I miss something in the installation description or are we, through my struggles, finding out what the manual should say? If solving my problems will contribute to the user community I'm happy to have done so - freedom of software!

Can I preserve my setup by the following procedure?

copy the folders and files from data root to www root
replace soft links to point to their targets new location
through the admin interface alter the path to data root

Does the procedure have gaps?
Is it not possible to conduct such a move, ie. do I have to re-install from install.php?

Anything else I should think about prior to redo the installation.

While having your attention I have one final question - what is the template set path_info used for and how does it differ from default? I've not found anything in the manual mentioning path_info.
