Hi, I had a problem with my installation.  I had put it into a folder called groupware and when my members called up my site address they were getting a blank white page.  Apparently the site was not redirecting to the groupware folder.

I found this very useful htaccess tutorial that not only fixed my problem but also a lot of other problems as well and thought you guys would appreciate being able to check it out for yourselves.

I think this is the one that I used e.g added to the /public.html  htaccess folder.  I just put my website name where it says 'yourwebsite' and the groupware folder name where it says twice 'website_folder' then uploaded it and presto, it worked.

Sub Domain Redirection
Sub domain redirection mapping to folder. Here http://www.yourwebsite.com is connecting to website_folder folder.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourwebsite\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/website_folder/
RewriteRule (.*) /website_folder/$1
