Hi wondering if someone can help me,

I searched around a fair bit for this issue but i've not really found anything that makes any sense to me yet. I am a bit of a newb so please be gentle.

Drupal site is up and running on www.yourdomain.com/drupal

It is installed under /public_html/drupal/
I also have a phpbb forum installed on /public_html/phpBB3/

I simply want www.yourdomain.com to point to the /drupal folder..

Currently I get

Page not found
The requested page could not be found.
But it is within the Drupal template..

The server is hosting via cPanel Pro 1.0 (RC1) - which i'm also still getting to grips with!

Can anyone help me out? Thanks :)

If I understand correctly you're doing what most of us do initially anyway - the forum aside.

Did you move Drupal 6.14 into public_html then change name to Drupal then run install. If so that should be it.
If you are still having trouble you might try:
If you go to settings.php in sites>default there is a line you can uncomment to set drupal basepath as www.domain.com/drupal

That is about it, I think.

Well currently the drupal install is in public_html/drupal.

Are you saying I will need to move it out of the drupal directory into the public_html one?
Is there another way of doing this, as it's a pain moving everything up one level. Also it keeps things clean.

I've messed about with the settings.php file but to no avail yet..

thanks for the quick reply!

Excluding the txt files I think there are only 11 files or folders under drupal that need to be moved to public_html and yes that is exactly how it is done. Once you move the files run update - I always do probably just superstitious and then when you access your domain using appropriate URL e.g. www.mydomain.com you will be accessing it thru Drupal
