Serendipity Forums

I have moved my serendipity installation to a subdir off my root - in the interest of organization. Like www.mysite.com/blog/. Simple enough. What I'd like is for a user to be able to simply go to www.mysite.com and have serendipity pick it up. I'm working around it by using a stub index.php with a <meta> redirect statement. Works, but you still see www.mysite.com/blog/ in the URL window.

Is there a more elegant approach to doing this so the user never even knows they are in the /blog/ subdir? I've messed with the "Paths" part of the configuration but haven't been able to make it work. Thought about moving the serendipity index.php file to my root dir and then find a way to alter a path variable, if one exists, that points to the subdir.

This is not possible because of the nature of HTTP.

You can only build an index in the root of your page that uses a frameset or an iframe to display your blog. Then the /blog/ directory would not be visible, but then - you can't bookmark any page no more without then seeing /blog/ in the URL.

The second option is of course to just install serendipity into the root. Serendipity does not need to be installed into a subdirectory. You can move your installation as indicated in the fAQ on www.s9y.org.
