change path from /apache2-default/* to /*

I've installed XOOPS as specified in the install guide but now if you click on my domain

http://www.aussienymeetup.net

it will take you to

http://www.aussienymeetup.net/apache2-default/*

how do i change this to

http://www.aussienymeetup.net/*

I'm assuming I need to change the XOOPS install from the www/apache2-default/* path to www/*


any help? thanks? (not sure why this isn't in the faq already, I searched maybe I'm just missing something.

TIA,
Dean

Check the contents of mainfile.php for the error.

Can you give me a little more advice?

I change the display setting to "/" instead of "/apache2-default/" but that didn't solve the problem.

Do I need to move the files physically? Will that break links and functionality?

TIA,
Dean

yup change the paths physically by moving the files.. and yes it will break the links, but then u edit mainfile.php and it won't be broken..

if u get stuck the FAQ section has all this information in.

sorry to be obtuse but I already did modify it.

I deleted all references to apache2-default but it stopped working.

sorry if this is such a base question

well that has to be the same as the actual path of your XOOPS installation. so if u changed that and u didn't physically move all the files into the web root instead of in the apache folder.. there's no wonder it didn't work.

Re: change path from /apache2-default/* to /*

ok so if I understand this correctly, I need to
1/ copy all files currently in the

www/apache2-default/ folder
to
www/

and then modify the two lines below (and reboot I assume)


// XOOPS Physical Path
// Physical path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
// Example: define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/var/www/apache2-default');
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/var/www/apache2-default');


To
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/var/www/');


// XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)
// Virtual path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
// Example: define('XOOPS_URL', '/apache2-default');
define('XOOPS_URL', '/apache2-default');

To
define('XOOPS_URL', '/');


is there anything else I need to do?

TIA,
Dean
