You can do one of two things:

1. Create a redirect from www.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/phpnuke.

2. Take the files from the phpnuke folder and place them directly in the public_html root.

If you want google to properly index your page and rank it for its worth do not use redirects. Due to the recent site "hijacking" problems (which use redirects) google has taken a stance against redirects !

Maybe there are ways of redirecting in a SEO friendly way, but I do not know of any - research it well !

Why has the etiquette changed here ? you must put the "compulsory link to your site" on the signature ? I thought you are only sor spamming if you are posting so you can put the link, but if you have a contribution to the topic and feel like helping out you would be daft not to put a reference to one of your sites.

Here is the JavaScript for a simple timed redirect page that you can use:


<!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL TIMED REDIRECT:

1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
2. Add the onLoad event handler into the BODY tag -->

<!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Original: desypfa@hotmail.com -->
<!-- Modified: Benjamin Wright, Editor -->
<!-- Begin
redirTime = "1";
redirURL = "http://javascript.internet.com/new";
function redirTimer() { self.setTimeout("self.location.href = redirURL;",redirTime); }
// End -->
</script>


<!-- STEP TWO: Insert the onLoad event handler into your BODY tag -->

<BODY onLoad="redirTimer()">

<p><center>
<font face="arial, helvetica" size"-2">Free JavaScripts provided<br>
by <a href="http://javascriptsource.com">The JavaScript Source</a></font>
</center><p>

<!-- Script Size: 0.88 KB -->

Hope this helps you...
