This has been covered many times. Searching the forums would find the answer I'm sure.

Move all the folders and files from your "blog" folder up one level to the root of your directory, then change the $baseurl in conf/_basic_config.php to reflect the new path (by removing blog/ from the end of it.

And what's with this business of typing "myurl.com" as if it was your actual URL? Pet peeve of mine: it is NOT your URL so why bother typing it as if it is? Why not just paste in your actual URL?

Because maybe it is a personal password protected blog I don't want anyone to see. It was just an example. How can that bother you anyway? It is not like you have to visit it to answer the question.

On a different note, thanks a bunch to both of you!

or you can add a line in .htaccess that it has to redirect every visit to the directory blog.

That's how I dealed with it for 3 years.

So that explains why you take the time to type a bogus URL? In other words: you provide a hyperlink that goes nowhere. :roll:

.htaccess 301 redirect is the way to go since it is also fast search engine friendly.

I didn't mean for it to be clickable. Not that it matters.

morbidbeauty,

The way we've handled it since 2004 is to have a /blogs directory (like your /blog) and then just move the index.php and other stub.php files up a level from /home/randsco/blogs/ to /home/randsco

You just need to "tell" b2evo where everything is. It used to be in /conf/_advanced.php ... but if you're running 2.x it might be somewhere else.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Be sure you don't have an index.html file in your webroot (it'll "win" over an index.php file) ;)
