Is it possible to change the root directory?

[onemind]

Hello,

I have created a php site using the zend framework and because of my application stucture i need to set the root to one of my own files instead of the current home directory.

Is it possible to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

So what do you need changed?

You own everything in your home directory.

What do you mean?

For example, if I put an index.php file in my root and type my url in to the browser my index page shows up. However, if I put the index.php file inside a folder then put the folder in root then go type my url in, i get a list of files and my index page does not show up and i have to navigate to it first.

So basically i want the file that index.php to be root and not the next level up.

Sorry, if i am explaining this in a convoluted way

root
index.php

to

root
folder <-- set this to root
index.php

Oh, I'm not sure if we can do that.

You'd have to use either a .htaccess redirect to the folder or use mod_rewrite. I believe there are a bunch of threads on this, do a search of the forums and see what comes up.

Or you could just use the redirect feature in cPanel..

Just redirect it like I do with my forum.
