Hi,
I'd like to publish our new joomla based site to our external customers, but I don't want the joomla in the URL. How can we have customers type in www.sitename.com and see the joomla content we created?
Thanks,

??? I'm not following you... "Joomla" in the url?
Can you give an example of such a url?
This site for example, uses Joomla and there is no Joomla in the url.

I use godaddy. Joomla is installed and was created in a directory in our site
www.breslow.com/joomla
. So when I enter
www.breslow.com
, I get different content than if I enter .../joomla. Is it as simple as copying everything from the joomla directory into the root directory? So then all the joomla content would then be in the
www.breslow.com/
?
Thanks,

Copy content of Joomla folder ie
www.kayakwest.com/joomla/
to
www.kayakwest.com
than open configuration.php file and change the following
$mosConfig_absolute_path = '/www/kayakwest.com/joomla';
$mosConfig_live_site = ' www.kayakwest.com/joomla ';
$mosConfig_cachepath = '/www/kayakwest.com/joomla/cache';
to
$mosConfig_absolute_path = '/www/kayakwest.com';
$mosConfig_live_site = ' www.kayakwest.com ';
$mosConfig_cachepath = '/www/kayakwest.com/cache';
Notice the above is only an example your setup could be different. - VirtueShop

Hey Jason,
Godaddy usually puts Joomla in its own folder like that. You can use an FTP program and move the files to the root directory. Once you move the files you will need to update the config.php file. If you need help with it or have any other questions give me a yell.

Yup, as the good fellows above have advised.
As I just posted in another thread:Move all the files to the root, and change all your logical/absolute path values in the configuration.php (remove the /joomla) - The member formerly known as Roland Deschain

Sometimes with mine, I like to redirect the
www.mysite.com
to
www.mysite.com/main
which makes it easier navigation for FTP when I have a fair few little sites.
I create a new php document and insert this - James Spencer / Developer & Support / Hull, UK
