Hi all,

I installed B2 yesterday and in a few days I like to switch from blogger to b2. But:
because I first wanted to see what b2 was like, i've installed it under a directory called blog, (www.boneless.nl/blog/)
Now I want the blog to be my main entrance to the site (www.boneless.nl/index.html).
How can I move the blogentrance from boneless.nl/blog to boneless.nl ?

Thanks for helping out.

If you have posted anything, or even if you haven't, you should download a backup of your database.

make sure every little setting in b2config.php is set for / not /blog/.

THEN you move the files from /blog/ to /.

Thanks, but does this mean I have to move all files?
Isn't there a way where I can make the index.html automatically redirect the user to /blog/index.php?

create index.php in /. Put this in:

That or a META refresh in the <head>:

<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="3; URL=http://yoururl.com">

CONTENT is the number of sec's.

Thanks alll,

I tried the php-trick and it worked!

Is there any way to hide the redirected url?
So that visitors see www.boneless.nl in stead of www.boneless.nl/blog
???
Thanks!

dot.tk uses a frame. This is not recommended but should work in most browsers..

Kill the refresh page you made and replace it with this:
