Hey everyone, My previous programmer configured my site so that when you go to it, it'll pull the files from a directory he created called "apps" rather than from the public_html directory. Can anyone tell me how to get everything back to running off of the public_html directory? It's a Linux box. Thanks! David

Not without seeing how the redirection is being accomplished.

Maybe Put A Redirect? Search For Either An .htaccess File Or In The Inde For JavaScript Re-Direct Code Many Thanks

Just as an FYI. The apps folder is all Java.

No,please search in the public directory.This directory is the first directory that the browser go when you go to your domain. Please search there if there is a javascript in the index file or an .htaccess file Regards

I don't see any redirect code. What would it look like?

Look for a file named .htaccess in the public_html directory. More than likely this is how he's creating the redirection. If it's there, just delete it. If there isn't an .htaccess file, look at the source of index.html or index.php or index.html (index.* basically) and post the contents of it here and we can tell you what to delete. Kevin

Ok, it looks like there actually was a redirect in .htaccess I've removed it and I believe this may have solved the problem. Thanks guys!
