How is the path hidden after the domain name.
Example
what I want is www dot MySite dot com . but what I am getting is www dot mysite dot com/ folder where the cms software resides.
Normally it was an index file in public html, but I am not sure about a php content management software.
Any help would be appreciated

What do you mean by “hidden”?
Check the path that your web server is using. Also, you should be able to set the defualt document that gets served if none is specified…(which isn’t always index.html)…
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cms\images \ http://www.yoursite.com/images

If you want ONLY the domain name to show up and NEVER and subdirectory or folder, then you will need to use a frameset.
Everything subordinate to the man page needs to be shoved into a frame.
Then ONLY your domain name will ever show up as the frame names are never seen.
Of course this means NO-ONE can EVER bookmark anything apart from your home page. Quite annoying really.

Sorry, other posters seem to get what you are doing but I don’t. Are you trying to figure out how to do something with your own web site, or figure out why some site you are accessing is behaving differently than you expect?
If the latter, it is very common that when you type
www dot MySite dot com
you get a main page that does a redirect to another file. I am not at all familiar with CMS so not sure how that may or may not play into it.
