Scripts taking users to main domain page

[zero5854]

Whenever I install a script, for example....Joomla....it takes the user or me even to the main domain page instead of the index page of the script.

When u install a script using Fanastico it wont obviously let you install any script to the root folder. So now the main page would be http://mysite.rcriot.com/main.html (example) name

but yet it goes to http://mysite.rcriot.com which is the page that shows a couple index folders and then of course when you click the "main" folder THEN it takes you to my site.

Any help would be appreciated!

thanks!:drool:

a simple re-direct would be the quick and easy solution to this problem. Simply set one up in cPanel.

However, you should be able to install into the root as long as you have no conflicting files.

Well i did know about the redirect thing...HOWEVER...for the "you should be able to install to root" thing...its a no go.

Basically when I try to it tells me the directory is already there. It says to choose a name that is not already there and it will automatically install to that dir.

this makes no sense!

Fantasico is able to install to the public_html folder, I have done it the 1 time I have used it. If you still can't get it to do it, manually install the script then.

But, if you want your main page in the public_html folder to be main.html for example, then in the .htaccess file in the public_html folder (create it if it doesn't exist), put this

DirectoryIndex main.html index.php index.html


But, if you do this, in each subfolder, you will need to put in the .htaccess in that folder "DirectoryIndex index.php index.html" for it to display it correctly.

Well it DID install to the public html dir. but I want it when u goto my main site to show my site NOT goto my root page as that would be a security risk. The directions you just gave would let me do this?? Sorry but im a noob to using a host that actually gives you alot of permissions unlike all the rest out there. Thanks

Ok Go into your root dir in filemanager. Go into the www folder.

Delete all files/folders you do not want except those beginning wth _ or . or postinfo.html.

Then try installing it from Fantastico (Dont put anything in the install directory box, leave it blank).

NULLED Scripts, SUch as your vBulletin copy (I believe), are not allowed on X10Hosting. Correct me if i am wrong, but there is no copyright link back to Jelsoft, etc.

zero5854 When you prove to use that is not a nulled vb I will unsuspend you.

I think the vbulletin customers can remove the copyright info for some fee.
