Well I was the one who put up the temporary home page. I just need to know how to make it to where the C5 is called up when the URL is pulled up. Do I just move everything that is in the C5 folder into the root folder with my FTP? Or do I just move the index.php file to the root file? Or am I completely off my rocker?

if you put all of concrete5 in a subdirectory, you will first need to move it all up a level with out corrupting any file, and then edit /config/site.php to reflect the new base URL.

Do I need to change

define('DIR_REL', '/concrete5');

to

define('DIR_REL', 'html/concrete5');

the one above the concrete directory,

insert
<?php header("Location:http://yoursite.com/concrete5/",... TRUE, 301); ?>

for permanent redirection...

more advance attempt on this please readhttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/domain_roo...

edit: the [[code]] breaks the script

Thanks again for all the help! But one problem which is not huge but I would like to get it fixed. Whenever I used the [code]<?php header("Location:http://yoursite.com/concrete5/",...... TRUE, 301); ?>[code] it did what it was supposed to, but the url becomeshttp://www.example.com/concrete5.... Is there a way to change that?

i think that's one of the things we're changing in the next rev for SEO

That will be great! By the way, I love C5 and I am for sure going to be using it from now on. I do alot of work on church websites so I will also be referring other site builders to C5. Keep up the good work!
