I'm sure there is a way to do this, but can someone tell me how I need to adjust the code to have the index.php open in my root web folder, since I'd really like to keep all of my drupal files inside a "drupal" folder. Any help would be most appreciated.

Installing Drupal in a subdirectory

This is what I found from another post, I added the following into the .htaccess file in the root public_html directory

DirectoryIndex /my_DRUPAL_SUB_DIRECTORY/index.php

The page loads up just fine. As soon as I click a link in the page, the browser address bar changes from

http://www.mydomain.com to
http://www.mydomain.com/my_DRUPAL_SUB_DIRECTORY

Is there a way to stop this from changing?

Also, I am trying to use the sitemap module to generate a sitemap for google submission. The problem is that google doesn't accept a sitemap at location http://www.mydomain.com/my_DRUPAL_SUB_DIRECTORY/gsitemap, I need to set this subdir site into my google account. The problem with this is that the page isn't getting checked by the google system. The original domain took months before it started getting a pagerank so I don't really want to have to wait all that time again.

Also, by adding it as a new site, I still get an error because the sitemap code automatically adds http://www.mydomain.com/ into the sitemap. Which is one level lower than the site and so it isn't accepted.

I would really appreciate advice on the best approach in my case.
