This maybe a question thats been asked before, but on my search I couldn't find it. Anyway, Is it possible to load the directory in your main url of your website. Like this.?

http://searchranger.net/

instead of

http://searchranger.net/dir/

I tried to do it but I got errors when I tried to. so I moved everything back the way it was, and just put a redirect on my index.html

I did try reinstalling it without the Directory folder and just placing it in my root, but it did not work. Anyone know how I would go about doing this, if it can be done?

Thanks,
Johnny

Hi there

it is possible - certainly it's what I use, as the directory is the only thing running at my url....

I would imagine if you originally installed it to a subdirectory, if you move it to the root, you will need to run through the config/install again to update all necessary files.

If you just moved the files, it wouldn't have worked because everything would have been looking in the subdirectory still, and wouldn't be able to find any of the files needed

Yes, there is somewhere in the configuration where you should be able to make the change. I am not at home now, but let me know if you don't figure it out, and I will take a look again.

Thanks,

There is no config for the installation path. The script determines automatically at run time both the web path and the file system path.
