Hello-

I'd like to install XOOPS with everything except home.php being in its own folder. What do I need to edit to allow this?

either way, just install XOOPS in that folder, and the index.php (a new one, in the parent, not from xoops) should have a redirect system, like a http header, or a meta-refresh or something, don't need to use index.php from xoops...

.... home.php? what is that?

Or maybe I didn't understand you LOL

PD: if you want to move a working site, you only need to edit mainfile.php, don't forget to leave it in 444 when you finish

yeah, I pretty much botched that question.

Let me try again.

I already have a lot files and folders in my site, and XOOPS will add many more. I want to keep the XOOPS files together, in a XOOPS folder. However, I want the index.php file from XOOPS to be outside the XOOPS folder, and in public_html. Preferably without redirects. Is there a way to accomplish this somehow?

I tried just changing the paths in index.php, but get this error:

XOOPS path check: Script is not inside XOOPS_ROOT_PATH and cannot run.

Thanks

You can't do it that way directly.

You can probably find a way to rewrite the url with .htaccess but honestly a quick redirect is the easiest way to go.

I install all my XOOPS sites under folders, very often ones calles /cms, so my index.php in the root contains:

header("Location: /cms/"); 

?>

You can do it without a redirect - edit the paths in your index.php, but also edit the XOOPS_URL and XOOPS_ROOT_PATH in mainfile.php (mine is is /xoops folder)
