Question: Is it possible to install Joomla in a sub directory and move the index.php to the root. I know this can be done with WordPress but I can't seem to find the Joomla Equivalent.

I am already using a redirect, not a very good one.

I really don't want all the joomla folders clogging up my root directory.

Thanks in advance,
sam

Answer: 
Unfortunately, Joomla! does not have a documented way of doing this. You might be able to change the code where the `JPATH_BASE` constant and `JURI` class are defined, but you'd definitely have to hack the core to do so.
Would making a virtual host help?
