apo Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hi, im noob and i have a question about accessing my web page. I made a web page with Joomla and i upload at "web root/joomla". So i type "mysite.heliohost.org/joomla" to access my site. Is there a way to acess my site like "mysite.heliohost.org" without change the struct "web root/joomla" ? Thanks a lot.

Ashoat Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 You should upload to "public_html" instead of "web root". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Can you just move the files from the joomla directory to your public_html directory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apo Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 yes i can.. but i wonder if there is another way without move the files.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 You could add this to your public_html .htaccess file: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/?$ /joomla/ That way you can still go to the pages in your public_html folder but this will redirect you to the index file of the joomla folder: mysite.heliohost.org You might need to write it this way, adding this [R=301,L] for your images to work? RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/?$ /joomla/ [R=301,L] the other way the browser doesn't know it's been redirected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicmag Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 yes i can.. but i wonder if there is another way without move the files.. Just wondering, why? Why don't you just install joomla directly to the web root (public_html)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
