I came across your podcast on using drupal for making a church website and I drunk the kool-aid really not knowing much about building websites. Here is the background on my situations. I signed up with an hosting and got my domain and used fantastico to install drupal 6.x but through research I noticed there wasn't much out there for 6.x so I deleted the software and installed drupal 5.7. Didn't have too many problems getting it installed but in order to access my website I have to use the following domain www.mysight.org/drupal-5 instead of www.mysight.org. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix it? I did find info that wanted me to do some coding with the .htaccess file but I really don't know what I am doing. I can't even find that file even if I wanted to attempt it. Any guidence would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
Some Help
Yo Matthew!
Welcome to Kook-Aid land :)
What's happening is your drupal files aren't at the root of your webserver...they're in a folder called "drupal-5". Remember, your index.php file needs to be at your html root....right now it's at: /drupal-5/index.php
So, grab all the files in your drupal-5 folder and drop them one level up into your root (/) directory.
Hope that helps!

Still need help
That worked fine but now when I try to login it says:
Page Not Found
The requested URL /node was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Is there something else I need to do or should I just start all over and make sure my files are under my root directory when I start?
Clean URLs
Hey there...
Did you turn on clean URLs when the files were in the old location? It looks like they may not be configured correctly now. If they were on in the subfolder installation, make sure you have your .htaccess file moved to your root as well.
