Removing "concrete5" folder from URL

Permalink
I've read through the forum and have altered my .site.php to be:

define('BASE_URL', 'http://www.fuquadesign.com');
define('DIR_REL', '');

But I get an index listing now when going to just my domain address. Do I physically need to copy everything inside the Concrete5 folder and move it up to the root?

Thanks.

I moved it up. The home page loaded but now getting errors on every other link from the home page.

I moved everything back into the Concrete 5 folder for now in the hopes someone comes by and has a suggestion. Thanks.

Potentially a Cache issue?

Does the issue still occur if your clear your cache
http://your-site.com/index.php/dashboard/settings/...

also make sure you re-index the old new pages,
http://your-site.com/index.php/dashboard/system/jobs/...

Thanks for your reply.

Problem is, I could not get to the dashboard when I moved the files to the root.

When I left them in the concrete 5 folder and updated the site.php file, I can't get to it either.

Errors either way I go.

I have an older version of C5 for another site and have all the files on the root with the same site.php file (with a different URL) and it works fine.

I'm noob so assume it's something pretty easy if I can just figure it out.

Generally speaking, once you have moved the files into the root, and set your DIR_REL in the site.php you are normally set and all is normally good.(unless you have hardcoded links)

As a quick thought did you copy over your htaccess file? its hidden by default so if you have friendly urls on and move the site not moving that then you would find errors,

Where were the files linking to?, ie index.php?cID=15 or index.php/page, or just /page

Maybe something did not copy across from the concrete5 folder? permissions can cause this?

You nailed it. It was the .htaccess file. I had not moved it over (didn't see it). Once I did, all was good.

Thanks for your help.
