Problem with front page

[busybizkit]

Just wondering if anyone can help?

When I type in my domain of builtlikebreezy.com i see the msg from hostmonster and it is only when you type in builtlikebreezy.com/admin that you can actually see the front page...

How do I change this?

Have you deleted the default.html file that is included in your account? If not, give that a try and see if it works.

[pghcollectibles]

you installed joomla into public_html/admin/ instead of public_html/

you could uninstall and reinstall correctly (that would not be so cool if you have been editing articles and other things)

you could move the contents of public_html/admin to public_html then change the variables in your config.php files to reflect the change

anything else would be a work around and would not be recommended, ie: making a link page or redirect page in public_html aiming at public_html/admin or an htaccess edit.

i would recommend my second example. if you edit the config file in file manager you will have to change its permissions to 755 but change it back immediately after you finish editing it to what it was (644 i think)

i just looked at mine to make sure i wasnt giving you false info and i did not find the config.php like i have on other cms of mine. there is a file called configuration.php which has 444 permissions and only has variables for setting log and temp files for example:

var $log_path = '/home/username/public_html/joomla/logs';
var $tmp_path = '/home/username/public_html/joomla/tmp';

those are mine, yours are probably:

var $log_path = '/home/builtlik/public_html/admin/logs';
var $tmp_path = '/home/builtlik/public_html/admin/tmp';

change those to:

var $log_path = '/home/builtlik/public_html/logs';
var $tmp_path = '/home/builtlik/public_html/tmp';

after you have moved your files.

Shadmego did i miss anything?

P.S. do a search on here about joomla this subject has been mentioned before at least to some extent.


and after all that typing i could have done the search myself and just given you this link, oh well

Thank u for all ur help!
I had a feeling that putting the admin bit was a big mistake but this is my 1st project and did not have a clue what to put! I think I will uninstall and then reinstall because I haven't started putting articles up yet.

Thanks again! :)
