Hi
I have the www root to "/www/" and the SS installed in "/www/SilverStripe"
when accessing to http://<domain>/SilverStripe" everything work ok, but I want the access will be from the root ("http://<domain>/")

I set the .htaccess file, and accessing the root return the SS home page.
The problem is that all the SS links are relative to the SS dir so they redirect back to "http://<domain>/SilverStripe/..."
Is there any way to modify this ? (I can not install the SS on the root dir)

thanks,
Rotem.

Jaytay,
If you have permissions to the root directory then copy the contents of your silverstripe directory to there and SS will serve the pages. You won't need to re-install.

Awesome, it worked. Thanks for your help! Should probably change the install documentation to let people know this as it makes it seem as if you HAVE to install in a separate dir off the root

Is there anyone who has Silverstripe running in the setup the original poster described ? We currently have a site running that way (cannot install in root since we are integrating Silverstripe into an already existing website) , but cannot get Silverstripe to run stable ......

See my other thread :

I follow the tutorials to build my first site, today i deploy it to the internet, it works.
1, modify the follow line in .htaccess file:
RewriteBase /silverstripe-v2.2.2
to
RewriteBase /
2, move to root directory:
replace the wamp\www directory's contents with wamp\www\silverstripe-v2.2.2

don't forget to modify the http and mysql service as autorun in the service control panel.

That is not the problem ; we cannot run Silverstripe in the root.
