George P.	Monday 07 April 2003 7:13:37 am I installed a test ezpublish in a directory called "portal" which lies in document-root ( html_public/portal/ ) My intention is that users will reach ezpublish by typing only www.MyDomain.com or even (I found documentation for multiple site) http://sub.MyDomain.com www.MyDomain2.com How can I achieve this? Redirection? Or must index.htm lie directly in the www-root (no subdir "/portal" also)? Normally I must type www.MyDomain.com/portal/ to reach the installed ezpublish. Please someone help me with an simple example.

George P.	Monday 07 April 2003 8:55:08 am Thanks! But is this possible if I use a Web Hotel? I don't think I have access to apache config files. Maybe using .htaccess in stead?
Scot Wilcoxon	Monday 07 April 2003 12:47:28 pm It's not index.htm which matters, it is index.php. eZp3 looks at the URL and uses everything before the "index.php" as the current directory. If index.php is visible you should be OK. (I was having trouble with a similar config, but with index.php hidden. There are problems with that -- I posted a suggestion with a possible fix. Have index.php visible.)
