Hi

I installed the WAMP stack and ontop the wordpress (2.9.0), phpBB, Mantis and moodle modules (Win2000 AS is below that).

I need to go through the bitnami dispatcher page to access one of theses sites.

Quite actually I like to have the wordpress blog as default and link from there to phpBB, mantis and moodle.

I looked at wordpress.org and the internet to find out how to move wp to the root dir, but they all tell you how to move from the root to a sub-dir. Reverse engineering did not get me the desired effect on the bitnami installation.

On my hosted internet blog I could successfully move the installation from a sub-dir to to root, but that does not work with the bitnami wamp-stack and its modules.

Any help?

Joe

Hi Joe,

You just need to modify the DocumentRoot value in the file <installdir>\apache2\httpd.conf as follows:

DocumentRoot "<installdir>/apps/wordpress/htdocs"
and restart apache service.

Let us know if you find any issues.
