[solved] Why is a subdirectory used for CMS?

[greenftechn]

I have found cmsms incredibly easy to install and everything seems to be going quite well. My question is: Why is the install and content all located in a folder nested within wwwroot, instead of wwwroot itself? Honestly, I've looked in the documentation for an answer, as well as searched the forums, but this nonintuitive convention has me befuddled.

You can move the entire contents of the CMSMS directory into your wwwroot if you wish. You'll need to change the Path Settings in config.php to reflect the change of location.

It's probably safest for applications to install in their own directory initially. Could lead to confusion if there are many files already in the wwwroot. Recall this being the case during my "let's try every CMS on the planet" phase.

Hello,

I agree with Jonny. Here is my opinion on subfolder install. Of course I suppose pretty URLs activated.

This all makes good sense. Thanks.
