Publishing website - url redirect

[Niedzielan]

Hi There,

I'm ready to publish my website. Until now the website was hosted in a temp directory (can be found by persons, but who's searching ) called http://www.mywebsite.nl/temp/phpwcms.

Now i ready to publish the website in the root directory http://www.mywebsite.nl so that when people go to this url the website is shown. I copied the whole temp dir into the root, so the website is now in http://www.mywebsite.nl/phpwcms.

What to do next besides changing path settings enz.??? I can't remove the phpwcms directory, can I? I don't want people to type the phpwcms dir! How did you guys solve this??

[update]

why not move it one step further down = domain.de (root) obsoleting the phpwcms dir...
and the root will be defined within conf.inc.php - have a look into dist.conf.inc.php

am I right?

why not move it one step further down...

guess, claus means not down --> but up to --> your www-root
an then just edit your /config/phpwcms/conf.inc.php

Code: Select all

// site values
$phpwcms['site']         = 'http://www.mywebsite.nl/';

// paths
$phpwcms['DOC_ROOT']     = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];// real DOC_ROOT seems to be: ...
$phpwcms['root']         = ''; //default: ''

when visitors type http://www.mywebsite.nl/ to the browser they'll see your cms contents...
am I wrong?

[update]

up!
up to the roots
upside down, topdown up, feet in heaven, head in hell
and vice versa

OK, I tried to move it one way up (or down ) and it worked immediately!! I changed the config file and then everything worked!
I thought that the phpwcms directory was needed for the complete functionality, so that I couldn't delete it, but it's working!!

Thanks guys!
