I just can't seem to install wordpress in my root directory, even though I leave the "in directory" filed empty. It seems to always put it in my "username" folder thus not being accessed directly... Thanks

Hello Deijmaster, Sorry for the apparent confusion. The default directory or document root used for installations within an InMotion Hosting account is the PUBLIC_HTML folder. This will ALWAYS be in the user folder. If you were to try open the site, typing the domain name for your account would open WordPress with your domain name (with the files in the public_html folder). Use this link for more information on the root directory. This article also provides the link for finding out how to change the document root. I hope that helps to answer your question! Let us know if you require any further assistance. Regards, Arnel C.
