How to make Mysite.com go to my WP

    My WP is installed in mysite.com/wordpress. I think I would prefer for it to be in the root. Is there an easy way to change that or would I have to delete and start over?

    Other than that, if I hit mysite.com, it shows a directory of cgibin and wordpress. If I click on Wordpress, it opens up my WP blog. But if someone hits mysite.com, I want it to go to my WP blog. How do I fix that?

    Do you already have posts?

    If so, you should make a backup.

    Then re-install Wordpress on the root domain, then you can insert the backup posts again.

    Otherwise, if you want to keep it the current then read more here

    You can do it by moving only index.php, maybe this video step by step tutorial will help. Let me know.
