Benj Duval	Sunday 19 March 2006 3:44:11 pm Hi, I finally decided to use Ez publish as it seems to be the ONLY cms to fits almost all my needs right out of the box. I currently have my site installed in /www/ . This is the web root. So when people go to www.mysite.com they see the index in there. This is where I want the eZ publish index. BUT.... it will take lots of time for me to setup the site, and convert all my content to ez publish and I don't want people to see my eZ index until I finished the work. So what is the best solution ? Should I install eZ publish in its own directory ? Is there an option to move the index in the root directory once i'm ready ? Or should I transfer the ez directory content in the root once i finished my work ? I would like your advice on how best to do this. Thanks, Benj

When you will done, you can use mod_rewrite rule (without moving files) or move your all files to root directory (www) or setup Virtual Host which will points to www/ez_publish. All possibilities will work. For eZ publish we recommend Virtual Host setup.

I'd recommend that you develop on subdomains (dev.yoursite.com, admin.dev.yoursite.com), then just switch the virtualhost setup / host matching in site.ini when you're done.Everything should work perfectly.
