Installation in wrong directory

[pulsarx]

Just followed installation manual and installed WebsiteBacker in default "wb" directory:

http://name.domain.com/wb/

but now I only can access it from this ../wb directory, not from root directory http://name.domain.com.
In parent directory I just have web hosting Ads page. So I need redirect from root directory http://name.domain.com to the "wb" directory without typing http://name.domain.com/wb/.

Is there way solve this problem without reinstalling WB?

You can either:
1. use htaccess file to set /wb/ as the index of your site, then visitors get redirected automatically to /wb/ when they visit the root. Of course you keep the /wb/ in your path then.
2. move all files to the root, add /install/ folder again, add clean config.sys, create new database, restart installation
3. delete everything, and reinstall in the root

Of course options 2 and 3 are only interesting if you have a new, clean install with no pages and content.

I placed into the root directory index.php with the following code:

Code:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://sitename.domain.com/wb/");
exit();
?>

it work. Is it correct way? Or htaccess is better?
It take many time to upload WB files via FTP. How to move "wb" folder content into root? I can access only via FTP.

It's all described here http://www.websitebaker2.org/en/help.php

htaccess is better than page redirect because it's server-based.

For moving files you'd best use your hosting panel, like Plesk or cPanel. Then you can move files within a few seconds all at once using the file manager. Otherwise you have reupload all files...
