want xoops at root directory, how?

I want my XOOPS main page to be displayed when going to the domain.com instead of having to go to domain.com/xoops.

Do I move the entire XOOPS folder up one level?
and if I do that, are there any changes in XOOPS I'll need to make?

thanks

You can move the XOOPS folder up there no trouble.
All you have to do is edit the mainfile.php to reflect the new base url and physical path (remember to set it to be read-only afterwards)

my physical path is /var/www/html/xoops right now.

if I move the entire XOOPS folder up one level, would the path then be /var/www/xoops ?

no it should be /var/www/html/

you will not have an XOOPS subdirectory any more, in the root directory you will see all the subs from XOOPS such as updates, modules.....

and your mainfile.php will be there also.
