Help - Installation

[rob]

I have installed coppermine in www.whatever.com/coppermine.   I wanted to install it in the root directory, but it wouldnt let me!?!?  Is this possible??  It says the directory '/public_html' already exists - which it does.  But why does that matter. 

When someone comes to my website, i want coppermine to come up immediately....So i redirected the traffic to the '/coppermine' directory.  The problem with this is that I have another domain hosted on my account.  So if people go to www.theotherone.com, they get redirected to www.whatever.com/coppermine.  Which I dont want.

Pretty lost here....Thanks,
Rob

Yes, it's possible to have coppermine installed in the root. You put all the coppermine files in public_html, instead of having them in a subfolder called coppermine. Make sure to back up everything before moving things around. You should move your current files into a separate folder in case there are conflicting names, such as index.php, or images folder.

But can I just install it into that directory???  Or do I have to move them all???   

If it has to be 'moved', then move everything???  All directories, files, etc?

If it's already 'installed', you can just move all files and folders, you don't need to reinstall. You would have to go into Config and where it has the url for the gallery near the top of the list of options, update the gallery url, which mentions ecard target, but it really should mean gallery url.
