Putting Prestashop in its own directory but still keeping it accessible in root

[lloydhumphreys]

Hey,

 

I figured this would be easy (a la WordPress) but it seems to not be possible from the searches I've done. They all suggest that I move every file to wherever I want PrestaShop to be accessible.

 

Basically, I want to put PrestaShop in www.domain.com/prestashop but still have it accessible from www.domain.com root; to keep things tidy & ensure nobody accidentally messes with it (couple of people have access to the root & they keep other stuff there too).

 

WP does it by moving index.php & then editing a line to show the directory of the install, can PrestaShop not do this? Or am I perhaps missing something obvious (it's 0245, so my brain just might be on the fritz).

 

Thanks.
