Developing and testing my vb 5 Connect site on an ISP using a dormant domain that I own. My initial install is at:
This kept my root public-html folder clean.
I am ready to deploy, and thought I could point my users to the site by setting a CNAME DNS record to the subfolder where the index.php resides.
But I found out CNAME records cannot include any directories, just domain names.
I tried:
www.myFinalDomain.com CNAME www.myTestDomain.com/subolder/
but this gave an error "invalid domain" in the DNS utility
Can I move the installation folder up one level? I try an HTTP redirect, but there are some glitches with redirects.
Is there a way to actually move the installation up to the server root (public-html) without breaking everything?
