Install drupal under subfolder

Question

I'm using a 3rd party hosting service for a Drupal 7 installation, and would like to put my Drupal site under the public_html folder like this:

public_html
|
|
|---->mysite
       |
       |-->includes
       |-->misc
       |-->modules
       |-->profiles
       |-->scripts
       |-->sites

However, I'm not sure what settings.php values I need to set, nor what if any .htaccess settings need to be changed?

Answer 1

You should be fine. You will probably need to change the

$base_url = 'http://my-path/subdir';

in your settings.php so that drupal is aware of it. Also in your .htaccess you will see

RewriteBase /drupal 

that is commented out. Uncomment this and add your path
