Hi

I've just installed Joomla! to http://www.foo.com/joomla/
When I surf to my website: http://www.foo.com I just get a directory listing!
I have to surf to the install path to see my joomla site.
How can I make Joomla just work straight away when people surf directly to my URL (foo.com)
Do I need to move everything from ./joomla to up one level, to my (web) document root?

Thanks!

Hi,

There are two or three options. 1; move the site to the root. 2; create a redirect in your control panel so visiters going to foo.com will be redirected to foo.com/joomla. Should be something on your hosting faq about creating such a redirect. 3; you could also create this in a .htaccess file which you place in that root.

To do this in .htaccess file just upload an index.html file to your root, this will also protect against directory listing showing up. Then create that .htaccess file and add the code:

Code:
Redirect /index.html http://www.foo.com/joomla/
.

Regards Robin
