I am sorry but I couldnt find an answer to this question when I searched the forum.
I wish to know if it is possible to install Drupal in a folder on my server and make it work as the main site. Like, I install it in : www.mysite.com/drupal but I want that when my visitor clicks on www.mysite.com, it should open the drupal site without showing the folder 'drupal' in the links. This is possible in Wordpress (read this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory).
Looking forward to a response.

Set document root in webserver config
Maybe I am missing your point, but you can install Drupal anywhere you want. Just make sure you set the correct path for your document root in the configuration of your webserver (Directive DocumentRoot in Apache, server.document-root in Lighttpd).

you can redirect to the subdirectory in the index.html file in the root directory.

Thanks to both of you for the
Thanks to both of you for the response and help.
I am new with Drupal so pls have patience with me.
1) I do not want to redirect through the index.html as mentioned by tryitonce, I believe it is not good for search engines.
2) I cannot use the linux server configuration system as mentioned by groenm (dont have access)
If you have gone through the process used by Wordpress that I mentioned in my first post....
Have the site in a folder...copy the index.php and .htaccess from the folder into the root....change a line in the index.php and one change in the settings in WP, you are done. Is there such a simplified process for Drupal?

... should work as described by you and that was my earlier idea as well.
