Hello Rogersa,

You will need to move the Joomla installation up to the main directory in order to display it as your www.sitename.com and not www.sitename.com/subfolder

1. Move all of the files and folders from your Joomla folder to the root directory. In your case from public_html/subfolder to public_html

2. Reconfigure your settings in your application. You will need to edit your configuration.php file and make the following changes:

Change from: var $log_path = '/home/user/public_html/subfolder/logs';
To: var $log_path = '/home/user/public_html/logs';

Change from: var $tmp_path = '/home/user/public_html/subfolder/tmp';
To: var $tmp_path = '/home/user/public_html/tmp';

Change from: var $ftp_root = '/public_html/subfolder';
To: var $ftp_root = '/public_html';

Change from: var $live_site = 'http://www.sitename.com/subfolder';
To: var $live_site = 'http://www.sitename.com';
