Main Index Page
Hi Folks,

I know someone has probably posted about this before but I've searched and can't find it. I've tried all kinds of keywords to search to no avail. Frown

Here's the issue - say my current url for the Links main or home page is at http://www.mydomain.com/resources/pages/ and I want to move it up one level to be in the resources directory so that the url will read as http://www.mydomain.com/resources/ with everything else staying as is (the inside pages)- if that makes it any easier. Is there a simple solution such as going in and changing the build_root_url under Setup or should I give up since I'm not a pro at coding? Also, I don't want to use a re-direct on the existing resources/index page.

If someone could help or direct me to existing posts where I can find an answer on this, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks ever so much!
Nadine

Changing the build path should be sufficient. Depending on your server setup, you may also need to make the "resources" directory writable so that Links can build the pages there. A redirect is not necessary unless you want people to be forwarded from the old directory URLs, such as when arriving from a search engine link.

Thank you Dan and Laura! I will digest the information and see what happens. However, I do think it looks a little complicated for my capabilities (or lack thereof).

Thanks again.
