I have a site, www.mySite.com

I have a folder where pages are served from, htdocs/

I have a folder containing one site at htdocs/drupal/. I'd like to be able to go to www.mySite.com and see the index.php page within the drupal folder, but instead I see a directory listing:
drupal
phpBB3

How can I make this index page show up at www.mySite.com, and how can I hide the directory?

I think this is easily accomplished in Apache's config file, httpd.conf, but I can't figure it out.

Thank you so much! This is driving me crazy.

There are many ways to do it. Reading this would help you.

Thank you very much for the link. After reading through it, I don't think that's exactly what I need. I want someone to go to www.example.com and see the page that really lives at www.example.com/drupal. I can see how I could redirect them from www.example.com to www.example.com/drupal, but I don't want the name in the address bar in the browser to ever change...

I was looking at RewriteBase inthe .htaccess file in my drupal directory, but wasn't sure if that was the correct way to go.

Sorry, but I'm still confused...

Thanks in advance!

It's a really unattractive way to work, but if you don't want the address to ever change, then something like this could be what you want.

index.html:

Wow, that's a very clever way to get it working! I tried it and it does indeed work. Thank you!

Sorry, I didn't mean I don't want the address bar to never change; I meant I didn't want to redirect visitors from www.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/drupal (which seems fairly easy to do with .htaccess, but then they would see the address bar change).

Ideally, I'd like visitors to be able to go to www.mysite.com and see what is in my public_html/drupal folder. The way I have it now, they would see a directory listing containing a drupal folder and a phpBB3 folder.

Of course, I could accomplish this by moving all the stuff from my drupal folder to public_html folder, but I'd like to keep things organized and keep the drupal site contained within the drupal folder.

I know there's some simple way to do this... I tried creating a symlink of the index.php file in the drupal folder in the public_html folder, but it didn't work.

Seems like I would need the drupal folder to be the RewriteBase for all the links from within the drupal folder to work correctly... (I'm not sure if this is the right variable, but after reading about it in the httpd.conf file, it seems like I'll need to incorporate it.

Isn't it just a virtual domain you need here? If you want anybody visiting www.mysite.com to end up in ~/public_html/drupal/ and want anybody visiting via another alias (like www.mysitephpbb.com) to end up in ~/public_html/phpBB3/ then that would be the simplest solution I'd say...

If that is what you are after, add the following to your config: That should get you close. There's loads of docs out there for virtual hosting under apache
