public domain root location

[urbsallday]

how do i check the access to the public domain root location of my website. im using Joomla! on it, and for some reason when i goto my hosted url by x10: http://www.fadedguild.x10hosting.com it brings my to a blank page with the links cgi-bin and upload (Joomla!). my website is there when i click on the upload link, but is there any way i can get it to just link to the front page automatically? thx in advance all! :happysad:

You must name your home page index.html or php.

All files uploaded through FTP or cPanel should go in www/ and x10 requires you to have a index.hmtl or php page or you will be suspended

how do i do this...

The easiest way would be to move all the files from the upload directory up one level (So the would appear next to the upload and cgi-bin folders). This way your Joomla homepage would be the first page your visitors see.

Note - You may have to adjust your Joomla configuration file to get it to work. (Change the paths etc.)

Alternatively you could upload a .htaccess file into the same directory as the upload folder. The file would need to contain the following.

Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/index\.php$ /upload/index.php [NC,L,QSA]

That would work but it's a bit basic. If you deicide to do this tell me and I'll see if I can write a better one.

Hope this helps. (And makes sense )

O..Oh!.. Just move all the files inside the directory "upload" to "public_html". Thats it. Your problem will be solved.

You will need to change the following in your site config after you have moved everything:
Log path and tmp path - these are folders that Joomla uses, you can change the paths from the Admin Panel. (Just remove 'upload/' from both of them)

Hi !
Since you uploaded joomla, just moving folders here and there won't work.
If you want http://yourdomain.x10domain/ (which I think you most probably want) then,
1. Move the contents of upload folder into directory above it i.e root of your website.
2.then edit configuration.php
***********************************
$mosConfig_absolute_path = '/home/URNAME/public_html/';
$mosConfig_cachepath = '/home/URNAME/public_html/cache';
$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://yourdomain.x10domain/';
***********************************
Save it.
It would work.
PS: Please Secure your website before....

But if you want http://yourdomain.x10domain/upload then
*******888
*********8
And you are done with it.
Bye

I still don't get it. I moved my files to the public_html folder and still can't seem to find it online when i type address. What would be the correct internet address to view it publically.

Well, I figured out how to find the page. Its easy if you use the legacy upload in the file mahager section. Just get to the folder to where the file you want to view and click on the file. When you see an icon for URL then click it. It will open that file in a new window with the url address of the file. I actually did this by accident. Hope it helped.:lockd::naughty:
