I have searched the forums to my best capability. Probably the answer is somewhere there, but I have been luckless. Please do help!

I installed my drupal site in a folder named testDrupal on www.mydomain.com ... and www.mydomain.com/testDrupal is working perfectly (drupal IS AMAZING)!

But now, I want my real domain, www.myRealDomain.com to point to www.mydomain.com/testDrupal.

I have done all the masking and forwarding ... and now when I type www.myRealDomain.com, it takes me to www.mydomain.com/testDrupal alright.

Perfect till now!

The trouble is, no matter which link I click, the address bar would always say "www.myRealDomain.com" ... and nothing else. Moreover, when I hover the mouse on any link, the status bar still points to a link on says, "www.mydomain.com/testDrupal" ...

May be this is a very dumb question ... but I do need help. Please!

Can you explain more fully the steps you took to accomplish "... all the masking and forwarding?" That's likely the problem, rather than your Drupal configuration. Your web hosting provider(s) may be a better source of information.

... were as follows:

1) I forwarded the www.myRealDomain.com to seek www.mdomain.com/testDrupal
2) I changed the nameservers to those nameservers suggested by the domain providers for forwarding.
3) I changed the '@' record of my Total DNS Control and MX Records to the one suggested by my domain providers for forwarding.

I thought there was some kind of .htaccess editing to be done ... but I haven't got a clue about what to do. Thanks for your words, looking forward for more ...!
