    Hi,

    Can you show me where in index.php should I state the name of my newsystem folder?

    Thanks

    i changed it to “./<new folder name>”

    this seems to work. is this correct syntax?

    i am actually migrating my site to a new host. The site is loading correctly on the new host but i have to add a ‘?’ after the domain name to see the weblog entires. e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/?/<weblog>/

    is it possible that this behavior is due to the way i specified the system folder name?

    thanks

    Hi datapositive,

    That syntax is correct if the ‘system folder’ is in the same directory as the main site index.php file and it wouldn’t work at all if you had got it wrong. With regards to the question mark, that is due to the way that PHP is configured on this host. We have some explanatory information about this in our documentation.

    Cheers

    Greg
