Joomla Install

[entrecon]

Still getting used to PowWeb, so please forgive me if I use wrong terminology or mis-understand something.

I have set up my account and have several domains that I am pointing at sub-directories. I purchased to the extra pack so that I don't have to mess with the .htaccess file myself.

I just tried to install Joomla using the instant installer. I told it I wanted it on a certain domain and then did not put a path in because I wanted it in the root of that domain. It installed in my htdocs folder and not the sub-directory. I uninstalled. I then tried to install again and put in the path "/folder" where folder is where my domain points. It was installed in the right folder, but the path was now part of the links I get www.folder.com/folder which does not exist because the domain root is already that folder (does that make sense?). I uninstalled again and thought someone here might be able to offer some insight.

Thanks,
Kip

Not sure how you would use the instant installer to get it right, but one thing you could try is download www.folder.com/configuration.php through your ftp and then open it up with a text editor. Inside should be a field that says "$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://www.folder.com/folder';" and you can just correct that and reupload that file. There are several other paths you might want to double check too, but that should fix it.
