Installing Wordpress in main directory

Hi,

I have an auto WP installer and everytime I install it via that it installs into a directory, but I want the blog to show up on the main directory, so its not www.mdomain.com/blog but just www.mydomain.com that the blog shows up on, how do I do this? Thnx

 

Do a manual install and place the files in the root directory.

 

Install it in the root directory.

Are you using fantastico ?

 

Just copy all the relative files to your root directory, make sure you are not moving them in a directory.

Then run your install

 

Yeah, fantastico.

Okay, I will get it done manually, thanks

 

When you install wordpress using fantastico, it asks for the name of the directory in which to be installed. Leave it blank, and it will automatically be installed in the root directory.

 

Ahh ok, thanks

 

or you could install WordPress in a folder (as you are) and in Options --> General, you change the Blog address (URL) to "www.mydomain.com" instead of the default "www.mydomain.com/blog".
