While testing Baker and my self using it, I had installed it in a subdirectory of /wb

I would now like to make it prime time and use the Baker site so that when someone goes to my site they will see the wb version. Is there some instruction you can point me to describing how to relocate the bakery site from /wb to / ?

It seems to me that the Homepage Redirection may allow this to operate from /wb but to appear as tho' it was in the root, but I am confused what to put in the root folder for this to work. Or do I need to move the entire contents of /wb to / and then change the base url to be without the /wb?

Hello,

Homepage redirection option means something totally different. If you wanna have your page in the root and not in the subdirectory please read here:

http://help.websitebaker.org/pages/en/knowledge-base/moving-from-server-a-to-b.php

Basically it is the same as from moving from server A to B. You need to move all from the subdirectory to the root, adapt the config.php and replace the pathes in the database. If you got errors after moving it has to do with ownerships and permissions of folders and files. To get more info about this read here:

If you want to leave it in the wb folder then just create an index.html file in the root folder with the following content, (this will redirect visitors from root to the wb folder):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0; URL=wb/">
</head>
</html>

Thanks. I found a Java script redirection example, which also had the meta-tag in case the user didn't have javascript enabled. so that's what I am using now.
