php - Joomla home page not appearing in root

Solution:

what shows up isn't my Joomla home, but the apache default page.

This is because you've uploaded Joomla! in/joomla and not in the default directory (/var/www/html). This would result in Apache showing the default page.

What I'd like to do is set it so that when I navigate to insertdomainhere.com my Joomla page appears (as opposed to .com/joomla).

You should move your Joomla! installation to the root directory of your web server or put this in an.htaccess file in the root directory:

Redirect 301 / /joomla

Solution:

You can use the following to redirect your root folder to /joomla/:

RedirectMatch ^/$ /joomla/
