I have all my folders and files in www.mysite.com/magento/
and my home page base url is www.mysite.com/magento/
. I need to change this url to only www.mysite.com
and if possible I don't wanna move my files from /magento/
to the back folder.
If I use System - Configuration - Web from my magento-admin-panel, it doesn't work and I can't connect to panel.
You should be able to accomplish that using .htaccess
and RewriteBase
.
Here's commented out example in Magento .htaccess
sample:
############################################
## you can put here your magento root folder
## path relative to web root
RewriteBase /magento/
That should do the trick in your case.
You can read more about RewriteBase
here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#page-header
Edit: In the web root, you'll need some sort of rewrite to Magento root directory:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !magento/
RewriteRule (.*) /magento/$1 [L]
Keep in mind that there are all just untested examples that should point you in the right direction. :)
Cheers.
