Moving Mambo files

I need help. I use godaddy(dont' ask why) to host my site. They install Mambo for me with the click of a button. IT is installed on the root in a directory called mambo. I began playing with the CMS and have now gaiined enough confidence to push it live. If i leave the files where they are my home pages is [mydomain.com...] I would like this to show up as [mydomain.com....] What files do I need to move to the root (out of the mambo folder) to get this to work?

Any help would be great!

You can redirect with an "HTTP-EQUIV Refresh" meta tag.

create a index.html file in root and put this line in the head area it:

In Mambo it's important to get the right structure of things from the beginning, as I've learned from many long nights.

I would if I were you either ask GoDaddy to reinstall the distribution so that it becomes the root of the directory. Or uninstall the whole thing, download the latest version of Mambo or Joomola and install it yourself.

Another option that might work is to move the Mambo distribution to the root of the server. But when doing this remember that you need to update the configuration.php file so that it points to the right location. Not sure if there are any other files you need to alter, as I haven't done this myself. Try consulting a mambo community, there are a couple of those around.
