Where do you install Joomla?
/htdocs/joomla < here 'joomla' could be any name, site, cms, or the name of the extracted template...
/htdocs/ < or here
I was on a thread and asked about this and only know from my limited experience.
I always install Joomla in its own directory and do a redirect.
Along with Joomla have some other stuff on the server and do so to keep to keep things 'neat and tidy'.
I tried moving the index.php out of the joomla directory once and got errors, so back it went.
If you want to keep Joomla in its own directory, what's the best practice for pointing to it, a redirect, or is there some way to edit the files if the index.php is moved?

Well I always but it in the public_html or htdocs if you use plesk
if your going to have it in its own directory I think you should set up a follow-through for search engines
but putting it in a folder might decrease SEO no?

well develop the site on a subdomain, then when finished, just take the flash down move joomla over to where flash website was, and then change a few configuration.php settings and your done  |

Well my main site is in the /var/html directory, my sub domains are in the /ftp/pub/{domainname}/ directories, but I am on a dedicated server that may be kinda weird |

In my case I've created a folder called "dev" and installed it over there. Now that my developments are done, I would like to move it to the home directory (in my case also public_html/). So in stead of http://www.mywebsite.com/dev/ it needs to appear on http://www.mywebsite.com. ©LECKYGENIUS, you were talking about adjusting some settings in configuration.php. Could you please let me know which ones specifically? Also, in some of the articles I've referred to images starting with "dev/images/image.png". I suppose I need to change all of the images in all of the articles? |
