[Nfb-web] One More Drupal Question

[Michael Hansen]

Joe,

I will be honest. I started the Nebraska site out exactly the same way
you are. When I got ready to move the drupal install to the root of
the website I did the following.

1. In the root of the website I created a symbolic link (using the ln
command) to the drupal directory.
2. Then I asked my web host to change the configuration of the
webserver to point to the symbolic link that I made.

NOTE: This allowed me to not have to go through some crazy process to
move everything and it gives me a greater level of flexibility in the
future if I need to cut over to a updated version of drupal, etc....

TIP: With what you are planning or with my suggestion above, In either
case you need to be careful in how you write any hardcoded hyperlinks.
You want to make sure they are relative to drupal so that when you
move the site they will still work.

Mike
