Help with Vhost and redirecting

[fachex]

Hey Sentora! Thanks in advance for your help.

I install Wordpress via Sentastico in a different path, not in the root path of the domain. How can I edit the vhost or what can I do for my domain to land in that path?

current domain: gfisys.info
I need the default page to land in gfisys.info/wp

I am sure this was asked before but I couldn't find it. 

I appreciate any help of if you can point me to the right direction.

Move the files don't edit the vhost.

If I move the files the I have to mess with the DB for WordPress.

It would be smarter to move the files as Me.B mentioned and do the DB edits. Or, you can try .htaccess rules in the domain's root folder (/var/sentora/hostdata/[username]/public_html/gfisys_info/.htaccess):

Code:

# This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain
Redirect 301 / http://gfisys.info/wp/

Or maybe even (not tested):

Code:

# This redirects all traffic to domain.com/wp but shows the visitor domain.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?wp.* / [P]

Think of it this way:

When you get a new apartment/house, you don't move the building, you move your furniture and update your address with the postal service...
What you wanted in your original question is trying to move the entire neighborhood to accommodate your new address...

Greatest explanation I have ever heard! Nice!

I knew my years of web hosting support would someday come in handy

You can edit only a field in WP root to change the default folder for WP.

Or place all WP files in your website root folder that would enable WP to work in your domain without messing up the vhost.

Don't mess up with vhosts or you will end up in issues harder to fix.

I'd like to help you, but I am also confused about that.
