Install worked but how do I install not to /concrete?

Permalink
Ok I am totally a newbie so please excuse if this is a really dumb question. I follow the directions for my cpanel install here:

But it of course installed on mydomain.com/concrete

Questions is, How can I follow these install instructions and have it install directly to mydomain.com?

It works perfectly to the /concrete and all the settings are correct ( I went through the forums) but I dont want to move it to another directory and mess up. Can any one help?

Thanks!

Hi, well the way the whole thing works is the index.php that you visit to install basically does a phpself to see where it resides in regard to your www directory. Well it doesn't do it, it happens.

So what does this mean really? It kind of looks to see if it is in a directory other than the www root and if so specifies that in the config.php which is written upon successful install or deleted if the install doesn't go through.

So if you were say:

in my example have kilohanadesign.com/concrete/index.php be my default concrete directory and I wanted to move it to my www root so when visited it would be accessed via kilohanadesign.com/index.php I would have to go into my config file and remove the value for DIR_REL which if installed in the www root would be DIR_REL,'' instead of being DIR_REL, 'concrete/' or something like that.

So you can just upload it to your www directory straight from the zip file visit it and and install without having a subdirectory.

edit: oh and to move it would have to have all the files moved as well from that /concrete5/concrete/ to a www/concrete/ directory and probably have the cache disabled and the files deleted.
