Re: [support] Change to home page location

The $base_url was left, in sites/mysite.com/settings.php, as http://mysite.com http://mysite.com .

Questions/issues:

1. Is it really necessary to have those Drupal files in both locations

(htdocs and htdocs/home)?

No. Delete the files from the root 'htdocs' directory and keep them only in the 'htdocs/home' directory.

Change you $base_url in your settings.php file to point to the real base, which is in 'http://mysite.com/home' (why would you think you should leave it pointing to the place where things used to be, instead of where they are now? No matter. Just change it.)

2. My "Administer" -> "Settings" page in Drupal is complaining that it no

longer has access or permissions in the /file directory, despite my having used chmod 755 . to adjust permissions on the directory and the files within.

Use 777.
