#permissions, please consult the on-line handbook.

Move Drupal Install to Root and not a Subdirectory
- Copy the contents of the directory where you installed drupal to the main root of your site eg. /var/www/vhosts/yoursite.com/
- Manually copy the .htaccess file from your Drupal install (this is the only real requirement for moving your Drupal installation -or you'll get lots of weird errors/things won't work right).
