[support] setting.php

Ok. Well, if you installed drupal into a subdirectory, then for the most
part the answer is no; since you do not have much access to the server
configurations.

What you are trying to do in theory basically (if I understand everything
correctly) is make the page: www.example.com/drupal/index.php show up as
www.example.com/index.php . The $baseurl is a setting that tells drupal how
to formulate it's path. This does not change the server's behavior. Now, you
could setup a subdomain. E.g. drupal.example.com, which may help.

Hope all that made some sense. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not too
familiar with cpanel, so perhaps there is a setting he/she could tweak?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't think I can change any of the
server setting because I don't have access to root, and it is on
Cpanel with Apache 1.3. Thanks!
