Move a directory or redirect

[pllobell]

Hey all -

I need to move my Wordpress installation from www.pjllobell.com/wp to www.pjllobell.com.

Either that or I need to redirect / >> www.pjllobell.com/wp.

I tried to set up that redirect, but the other domains on my account, www.fbinaaylp.com, www.vanguardnetworks.us, etc. forwarded directly to www.pjllobell.com/wp.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

personaly I would keep it in the /wp folder just to keep things tidy in your home directory and use a redirect, this is the one I use:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?pjllobell.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wp/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?pjllobell.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ wp/default.htm [L]

******in that last line replace the default.htm with whatever your home page is******

hope this helps :)

oh hang a sec is pjllobell.com your main domain or an addon?

[pllobell]

pjllobell.com is the main domain.

great then that code will work fine.

Silly me set up BH with a domain I boguht for my daughter and she ended up the main...grrr, the above works wonderfully and now all her files are in a folder under her name that she can't confuse and the site points to the folder.

Good luck :)
