How to remove the joomla string in the URL of a joomla website

Sunday, 31st October 2010

ou need to find your joomla installation directory for instance if joomla is installed in /home/hipo/public_html/joomla
You must go to to this directory and edit the configuration.php file.
In the joomla’s configuration.php you need to edit the variable $var_site:

The current variable in your joomla configuration will probably be something like:

var $live_site = 'http://www.yoursite.com/joomla';

var $live_site = 'http://www.yoursite.com/';

Also you might need to change change: var $ftp_root = 'public_html/joomla';
to
var $ftp_root = 'public_html/;

Hopefully now the joomla string will be removed from your website URL address.
