OK, I finished the initial release of my first XOOPS website, but I would like to change the url that people use to access the site.

Currently I access the XOOPS site at:

http://mydomain.net/xoops/html

I would like to be able to access my page by simply using my domain name:

http://mydomain.net

I did a lot of searching and I saw a lot of references to the XOOPS virtual path. Many said just to change the virtual path in your mainfile.php to the url you want. When I changed it as I noted above, I still get a 404 error when I type just the domain, but now I also have all of my theme/css stuff missing if I go to the full address that includes the /xoops/html.

I then tried to forward my domain name through my hosting company to the address with /xoops/html. That didn't work either. My hosting company said that unless I had a physical page to point to in the /xoops/html directory, the dns forwarding wouldn't work.

How can I make my site work by just usinghttp://mydomain.net?

Thanks in advance!

Hi grassninja,

just move all the content in your html-folder to the root of your website, then change the path in mainfile.php

Wow, too easy. With all the stuff I tried I can't believe I didn't think of that.

Works perfectly now. Thanks!
