Joomla loads sites directory and not the site itself

  • Joomla loads sites directory and not the site itself

    Posted 15 years 9 months ago
    • I just dloaded media mogul 1.5 and installed with Rocket Laucher.

      When I types in the sites address ( westernmarlyandfastfoodslp.com) the site loads the directory and not the site itself.

      I have to click on the link in the directory that reads Joomla_RT_MediaMogul_j15 and then the site loads.

      What did I miss? How do I correct this so the site will load when someone enters the addy?

      Thanks for any and all assistance.

    • You wish me to be more specific than what I wrote? I thouht it was very specific, but here ya go...

      When one types in the address of my website, which is "westernmarylandfastfoodslp.com" the directory loads and NOT the website itself. Not Media Mogul.

      If you click on the "Joomla_rt_mediamogul_j15" in the directory shown THEN the site loads. How do I fix it to load the site and not the directory?

    • It means you need to move up one level the content of Joomla_RT_MediaMogul_j15 and modify configuration.php to reflect the new path, lines 17-19:

      var $log_path =
      var $tmp_path =
      var $live_site =

    • Thank you for your reply...

      I am no where near a Joomla Pro...

      Would you please explain what you meant by...

      "you need to move up one level the content of Joomla_RT_MediaMogul_j15 and modify configuration.php to reflect the new path, lines 17-19:

      var $log_path =
      var $tmp_path =
      var $live_site ="

      I know where the configuration PHP file is and can take care of that...but what do you mean by move up one leval the content of joomla..."

    • Currently, your Joomla install is in this folder: westernmarylandfastfoodslp.com/Joomla_RT_MediaMogul_j15

      You need to move all its content directly in /httpdocs (or similar root directory).

      Then edit configuration.php and remove /Joomla_RT_MediaMogul_j15 from the 2 paths, lines 17 and 18.

      Line 19 will become:
      var $live_site = ' www.westernmarylandfastfoodslp.com ';

    • Hello,

      I am also in the process of moving my site from the test directory to the root of the site. I am just wondering, do I move my current 'Joomla' folder to the site root as a whole, or do I move each file and folder individually to the root?

      Please let me know!
      Thank you,
      Caroline

    • Hi Amandeep,

      Sorry, but that link did not answer my question. I have FTP'd my Joomla folder containing all my files and folders to my harddrive. Now, I need to know, when I re-upload them to the server...do I make a Joomla folder at the root and put the files and folders in there, or am I just uploading each folder (administration, components, etc) individually to the root?

      so for instance, would my root look like this:
      /Joomla?

      or would it be
      /administration
      /components
      /images

      etc?


      Please let me know,
      Thanks,
      Caroline
