Changing home page
Hi all, am new here and a total novice at using this cracking peace of of software, but its awesome none the less.
Ok as a novice my issue is, I got myself all set up n running but...I set up my site with the index page in www.yourname.com/vshare - how do I change this so that my visitors go www.yourname.com n not the vshare extnt?
Any help here will be appreciated thanks.

Create index.html page with the following content
upload to public_html pageCode:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Redirect</title> <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.yourname.com/vshare"></HEAD> <BODY> Optional page text here. </BODY> </HTML>

Re: Changing home page
Great thanks, site is now working. Much appreciation for your help. The only problem was it seems that my configuration does not read html files, I had to change the extn to php for it to work.
Once again many thanks. :D

Another way of doing it (albeit more complicated--but not impossible) is to simply copy everything into the root directory and just change the config files to reflect the new location (removing references to the /vshare directory usually in include/config.php and the cgi-bin config file).
If it's not fun, stop doing it!

Re: Changing home page
I just wonder if any of the mysql tables store the vshare root path... if so they would need to be changed also. Do you know if this is the case, Grynmoors?Originally Posted by grynmoors

Just move all files in vshare folder to root folder (public_html, httpdocs, etc...).
Now edit include/config.php correct the value for
If you use upload progress bar, update cgi-bin/uu_default_config.pm with new path and url.Code:$config['basedir'] = "/home/web/vshare"; $config['baseurl'] = "http://yourdomain.com";
