hello guys?


I installed oxwall to a subfolder (e.g. //mysite.com/public_html/myox) because there's an old website at public_html. So, the URL is http://mysite.com/myox
and now, i'm not using that old website. so how to change the URL from http://mysite.com/myox to http://mysite.com ?
anyone can help? i'm not familiar with console. i'm using softacoulus.. i try to change with softacoulus editor. it's not work.
thanks in advance...

well.. i might have a problem to do a fresh install because my user already store his content.. i have about 10 users already.. or should i do some migration database after new install? owh.. never do this before..

Eddie, what about ow_includes/config.php? Did you try changing your site URL in that file?

mulder.. i did.. but still can't.. 


changes http://mysite.com/myox to http://mysite.com gave me '404 error'. because all files in the myox folder (not in public_html)..


i think the best result is to remove and reinstall to a public_html.. aarrghhh..!!!! i'll lost the users and content... :(


but my technical developer advise me to change the URL with redirect function through cpanel.. i'll continue working on this.. before give up... :D
