If you have installed Joomla to a subfolder on your account then in order to access the site you would have to include the folder in your URL, ie. http://yourdomain.com/MyJoomlaFolder/ . If you would like to move your site from one folder location to another folder, you are required to make a slight change to your /configuration.php/ file to reflect the new location. The example below shows you how to make your Joomla site your homepage (assuming yourdomain.com is fowarded to /yourdomain.com/ folder in your Netfirms Control Panel)

1. Using the Netfirms File Manager or an FTP client, edit the file /MyJoomlaFolder/configuration.php and look for the lines listed below:

From:

var $log_path = '/mnt/wXXXX/dXX/sXX/b0XXXXX/www/yourdomain.com/MyJoomlafolder/logs';
var $tmp_path = '/mnt/wXXXX/dXX/sXX/b0XXXXX/www/yourdomain.com/MyJoomlafolder/tmp';

To:

var $log_path = '/mnt/wXXXX/dXX/sXX/b0XXXXX/www/yourdomain.com/logs';
var $tmp_path = '/mnt/wXXXX/dXX/sXX/b0XXXXX/www/yourdomain.com/tmp';

2. Save the changes to the file.

3. Now open the php.ini file in your /yourdomain.com/ folder and /yourdomain.com/administrator/ folder and change the line below:

From:

open_basedir = /mnt/wXXXX/dXX/sXX/b0XXXXX/www/yourdomain.com/MyJoomlafolder:/tmp

To:

open_basedir = /mnt/wXXXX/dXX/sXX/b0XXXXXX/www/yourdomain.com:/tmp

Then save your file.

4. Now that you have modified the configuration file to reflect the new home location of your website, you will need to physically move the files to the new location. Using the Netfirms File Manager is recommended for this process because FTP may take some time to move each file.

5. Navigate to /MyJoomlaFolder/ and place a checkmark in the box at the very top of the file list, which will "select all" files and folders. Click the Move () button and navigate to the new location, ie. the /www/ folder and then click the Move button.

You should then be able to access your Joomla site at its new location.
