My XOOPS seems to be working, when I go to http://www.mywebsite.com/xoops however none of my vistors will know to write the /xoops afer my address.

Is there any way of making my website accessible by just writing http://www.mywebsite.com into a browser.

uhm, you set your doc_root as /xoops

you don't have to do that.

Move all of the contents out of the /xoops folder into your /

open mainfile.php and remove /xoops from the url and docroot

or just include a index.php in your web root with the next code ... 
<?php header("Location: /xoops/index.php") ?>

Copy the index.php file from your /xoops directory to your root directory. Then edit index.php in your root to be like this -

le="color: #000000"><?php include "xoops/mainfile.php"; //check if start page is defined if ( isset($xoopsConfig['startpage']) && $xoopsConfig['startpage'] != "" && $xoopsConfig['startpage'] != "--" ) { header('Location: '.XOOPS_URL.'/modules/'.$xoopsConfig['startpage'].'/'); exit(); } else { $xoopsOption['show_cblock'] =1; include "xoops/header.php"; include "xoops/footer.php";


Best to move your files/folders to your root now, though

+1, meaning that I agree with the last current actions (biteronboard, skenow, nekro).

(OOPS, sorry does +1 mean getting erased from the forums, last time it did)
