That's what was done with a redirect in htaccess to the subdir. What would like to do, however, is the browser address bar to show http:/www.yourdomain/about etc not http:/www.yourdomain/drupal/about. I'm sure it can be done with a mod_rewrite or mod_alias but not sure exactly how to do it!

=================================== Rob in that cast it a very good reason to use a subdirectory. Ie http:/www.yourdomain/drupal/
Making changes to the code always come back and bites you in a--. This is very simple to do. Just use the full name in the base
/** * Base URL: * * The URL of your website's main page. It is not allowed to have * a trailing slash; Drupal will add it for you. */ $base_url = 'http://yourdomain/drupal';
/**
Don't use localhost
If you have a problem with secondary, pages loading, change the .htaccess statement to reflect the new path.

I have a similar problem and the reason is that our ISP provides administrative features like stats, spam control etc with the url using www.mydomain.co.uk/admin which conflicts with Drupal admin feature and I have not been able to find any way to change it in Drupal.
Havn't found a way round it yet!
Hey Rob -
If you are willing to make some changes to your Drupal modules/user.module, you can change the URL for the Drupal admin functions. Here's the relevant section (from ver 4.6.5):
//admin pages $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/user', 'title' => t('users'), 'callback' => 'user_admin', 'access' => $admin_access); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/user/list', 'title' => t('list'), 'type' => MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK, 'weight' => -10); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/user/create', 'title' => t('add user'), 'callback' => 'user_admin', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/user/configure', 'title' => t('configure'), 'callback' => 'user_configure', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/access', 'title' => t('access control'), 'callback' => 'user_admin_perm', 'access' => $admin_access); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/access/permissions', 'title' => t('permissions'), 'callback' => 'user_admin_perm', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK, 'weight' => -10); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/access/roles', 'title' => t('roles'), 'callback' => 'user_admin_role', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/access/roles/edit', 'title' => t('edit role'), 'callback' => 'user_admin_role', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_CALLBACK); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/access/rules', 'title' => t('account rules'), 'callback' => 'user_admin_access', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK, 'weight' => 10); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/access/rules/list', 'title' => t('list'), 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK, 'weight' => -10); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/access/rules/add', 'title' => t('add rule'), 'callback' => 'user_admin_access_add', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/access/rules/check', 'title' => t('check rules'), 'callback' => 'user_admin_access_check', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/access/rules/edit', 'title' => t('edit rule'), 'callback' => 'user_admin_access_edit', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_CALLBACK); $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/access/rules/delete', 'title' => t('delete rule'), 'callback' => 'user_admin_access_delete', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_CALLBACK);
if (module_exist('search')) { $items[] = array('path' => 'admin/user/search', 'title' => t('search'), 'callback' => 'user_admin', 'access' => $admin_access, 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK); }

If you change all of the instances of "admin/" (in the "'path' =>" sections) to something like "dru_admin/" in the above code segment of your user.module, all the access URL's will change. I'm pretty sure all of the form-post actions will update as well, as will the menu links in the administer menu... that's the beauty of the structure of Drupal. Oh - one more thing: the menus are cached in Drupal, so changing the code probably won't affect the site immediately. I think logging out and back in may refresh the menu cache, or quitting the browser and coming back in to init a new session.
I haven't actually tested changing the admin paths, and perhaps Ber can comment on any concerns this change might raise... but this method may be one way around your ISP-imposed directory names.
Cheers, --Katin
