I couldn’t find a similar question in the forums so I’m creating a new topic. If this question’s already been answered, apologies!
I am planning to start a forum using discourse but I am a newb when it comes to server-side stuff and have never set-up a website on a server before.
I’d like to know where I should put the files for my main site (www.example.com) once I have discourse (forum.example.com) up and running.
What will the file structure look like after discourse is installed?
What should it look like when it’s set-up in the above way?
Do I need to make any changes in the domain settings tab (A record, etc.) for this to work? (I don’t think so, but I’m not sure)
3.a. If so, what do I need to do?
I am planning to follow the 30 min install guide to get discourse installed on a $5 Digital Ocean droplet first and then upload my files for the main site.
TL;DR :
I own a domain and want my main site on it - www.example.com
