Hello crash73,
This should be automatic assuming:
1-you have installed XOOPS in trhe root of your webspace.
2-you have set your DNS correctly with your nameserver.
Most like cause of problms is that you have installed XOOPS in a directory outside of your root webspace (usually public_html)
ie,
http://yourdomain.com/xoops/ here /xoops/ is your directory holding all your XOOPS files
Really you need to place all the files your root. If this is not acceptable, then you must make changes to your nameserver setting or place a redirect in your root to point to your /xoops/ folder. cpanel makes this very easy, if you have it.
