Hi,
As my site has trouble with the redirecting php-script i want to move the whole lot.
My site is now located in [rootfolder]\2019
Can I move it to the rootfolder without trouble?

You should be able to. Here are some suggestions: https://ttg-tips-and-tricks.barbeephoto … tion-site/

nope, doesn't work well.
I saved the current index.html and index.php and deleted all rubbish what cleaned up a lot and then moved all files and folders from ../2019 to the root after adapting the settings in the admin settings. but it resulted in a rubbish text screen showing my menu as a list

If you're moving your site to the root, you'll need to get rid of any old index files.
It should work. I've moved several test sites in just that way.
Can you include a link to the site?

found something strange. After the transfer my website showed damaged. and clicking any link from the menu send it to the old situation with the 2019 still inserted like nothing has changed

Check your menu set to make sure that your urls don't contain 2019. If you chose URL for the Link To option and manually entered the url, that isn't changed by changing Backlight settings. You'll need to do that yourself, like with any other links you may have created within the sites (Like text links)

You still have this strange frameset on your site.

Rod: I do not understand. nowhere in the menus I put in manual addresses with 2019. I use the designer, that is all
Daniel: I just found out that the frames come from the index.html that calls the index.php to redirect the domains to their respective folders.
The links to the Creative Common stie keep refusing but the breadcrumbs are inconsistent in functioning and refusing
Here under those files.
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" cols="*" >
<frame name="subdom" src="index.php" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" frameborder="NO">
<frame src="dummy.html">
</frameset>
<noframes>
</noframes>
</html>
index.php:
<?php
$host=getenv("HTTP_HOST");
if($host == "www.fotograafdonald.nl") { $url = "/2019/index.php"; }
elseif($host == "fotograafdonald.nl") { $url = "/2019/index.php"; }
elseif($host == "www.fotogravisie.nl") { $url = "/fotogravisie/index.html"; }
elseif($host == "www.streetmagic.nl") { $url = "/streetmagic/index.html"; }
elseif($host == "fotogravisie.fotograafdonald.nl") { $url = "/fotogravisie/index.html"; }
elseif($host == "www.fotografiemodellen.nl") { $url = "index.shtml"; }
elseif($host == "www.fotografieworkshops.nl") { $url = "index.shtml"; }
else { $url = "index2.html" ; }
Header("Location: $url");
?>

Hi Cristian,
I would check with the cpanel in your host account how different domains/subdomains are handled. There should be a way to map the different domains you have to the respective root directories without this index.html/index.php hack.

Did you change the Site URL in Backlight Settings?
I just found out that the frames come from the index.html that calls the index.php to redirect the domains to their respective folders
That's your main problem then. Until you can resolve things so that a frame set is not used on your main site, you're going to have issues with your Backlight site.
If you're using Backlight as the basis of your site (home page, etc.) then you need to be using the index.php and .htacces files that come with Backlight.
So if you want to put your Backlight files in the root of your site (where your index.php redirect and your index.html files are), that means you can't be using your redirecting index.php. And that index.html file should go away too.
Maybe your redirects can be handled from your C-Panel. That's what I've done for a couple of sites.
I have one site in a subdomain located at ttg-tips-and-tricks.barbeephoto.com. I also purchased the domain name ttg-tips.com. In my C-Panel I'm able to set up a redirect so that any requests for ttg-tips.com are rerouted to the subdomain.

it's erratic, now it's working fine again. I'll look into that cpanel. But without my own original indexfiles and backlight solo in the root of my account it also gives problems, the lay out goes haywire...

not sure what you mean by "it's working fine." It's still in the frame set.

We might be able to help with that if we could see it.
