i have recently put together a new site (theme and drupal install) in a root/drupal
Now i have the site working, i wanted to have the subdirectory as the web directory (dreamhost automatic redirection: where users get taken to on typing the domain name).
As i have the settings.php (config file) pointed to the subdomain, i thought i could just change the path to the root and this would be ok.
Alas, no (am i naive on this?).
The links to the database are fine (i.e the content shows up), but the themes do not work...
I have searched the forums/handbook/etc and all i seem to come across are details about moving the files to the root - and problems with this!
For another site, i have the same set-up (installed in root/drupal and the subdirectory as the web directory) and it works fine. I did not mod this site prior to having set up as the web directory...
any suggestions or experiences?

My opinion of drupal:
The best of the best
What I have to say about drupal:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::
thanks - does it aply though?
i do not completely follow...
I am not after multi-sites and do not have drupal in a sub-directory - rather a sub-folder. I want dreamhost, via its webpanel, to automatically redirect to the subfolder /drupal
--> the /drupal becomes viewed as
site.com and not site.com/drupal
When i changed this and also the settpings.php (config file) to remove the /drupal (as with my other site that already had the automatic redirect - before i worked on it) the site stopped functioning correctly - as in it could access the database but not locate the themes.
Following your command (i am not sure what the -s does: i a newish to unix/command line), assuming i can interchange directories, this is what it would be
ln -s /drupal /drupal
which does not change anything...
I think my issue is either a dreamhost thing or it has something to do with internal drupal setting - that is where i am stuck
any thoughts?

Because DreamHost allows you
Because DreamHost allows you to have directories above the web root, and you just want your drupal install to be at the root (no /drupal in URL), why don't you just move drupal to the root?
Then you can move whatever else you wanted to keep to outside of the webroot, in a different directory, or a different subdomain.
So DH is setup like this:
/home/username/
--example.com/
----drupal/
------[your drupal files]
----otherstuff/
------[your other files]
--sub.example.com/
Change it to:
/home/username/
--example.com/
----[your drupal files]
--sub.example.com/
----[your other files]
Is there a reason I'm not seeing that you need both your drupal files and other files publically accessible from a subdirectory of your main domain's webroot?

it makes perfect sense!
it makes perfect sense!
I will try and move it all across...
let's hope when i change the settings.php file the themes will work!
i have no idea why they don't given the current situation?
Thank you.
will try soon (heading out) and let you know the result. :)
