I’m trying to find out how to make a subdomain appear as a subfolder ie:
if I have -
but I want to browse to -
to find it rather than have it available at forum.example.com
also - how would I work this with SSL?
should I add forum.example.com to the certificate? or would it be covered under example.com?
Thanks for any pointers!

Hi @bigjohnny
Are you using Apache or Nginx?
If you don’t want to use forum.example.com anymore, then you can setup redirects to example.com/forum/
And then you only need to add HTTPS to example.com since you’re not going to actively use forum.example.com
