Can I change the name of the database?

Permalink
Not sure if this is the correct forum for my question, but many years ago I did a website for my dog club and used index.html as the home page so when creating the database, I used my url/index soooo when one types in the url, it does not go to the home page. ugh. My son is working on this for scouts and he's put a bit of time into it, so I would prefer to be able to change the database name or redirect to "home" but I have no idea how.

Any suggesgtions?

I think if i'm understanding you correctly, you mean to say that you installed your concrete5 to a folder/directory called index. If that is the case, you should be able to simply move all of your files up to the root of your site, and then you may need to modify the configuration file and remove the directory path from /config/site.php.

An alternate solution, if you are fine with the URL containing /index/ in it, is to simply set up a redirect using a .htaccess file.

If you need someone to take a look at it or need assistance moving it, shoot me a PM and i'd be willing to take a look.
