Strange, Apache and Joomla

[geo]

Ok I think I figured something out....Suppose I have my web directory:

/var/www/

And I have a domain name and a server running. Suppose I wanted to have the root of /var/www/ show up on the internet as http://xyz.com?

Ok? Then if I add a subdirectory to this whole mess? /var/www/abc/

Then I should expect this to reflect on the URL: http://xyz.com/abc/

That's NOT happening on my system. What is happening? Joomla is in my way.

Example: http://georutkay.homelinux.org/  points right to: /var/www/Joomla/ on my system.

If I want to put any subdirectories on the internet, I have to place them inside of the Joomla directory - not outside of it! Why? I don't know. I didn't have to do it like this before.

So if I go now: http://georutkay.homelinux.org/Projects  then that takes me to my Projects subdirectory as visible on the internet. But on the computer the real path is: /var/www/Joomla/Projects. The URL doesn't reflect that.

Before I was able to leave my other directories outside of Joomla and I could display them in an order that was more in-line with the computer's own file and directory path. Now I cannot. Why is this? Can anyone explain?

Thanks,
geo
