1) I moved the config file outside the public_html for the main no problems. I did the same for the addon but it gives a blank page. Any suggestions.
I do this myself except for the addons.
The Rocketlauncher is an exact copy of Joomla + the template. We do not change anything in Joomla to create the launcher package. We add the demo database sql and of course the images/modules the demo has.
I believe if you are taking the steps necessary as outlined on the Joomla forums, then you are doing well. I am just not sure about redirecting your addons, because I have never done that before.
