By default, VuFind is configured to reside within a directory of your website. However, if you want to configure VuFind to load at the root of your domain, follow these steps:

• In the [Site] section of local/config/vufind/config.ini, set the “url” setting to “http://yourdomain.edu” (obviously replacing this with your real domain name).
• In httpd-vufind.conf, make the following changes:
  • In the AliasMatch lines at the top, change “AliasMatch ^/vufind2/themes/…” to “AliasMatch ^/themes/…”.
  • Remove the Alias line under “Configuration for general VuFind base”.
  • In VuFind 2.5 and earlier, RewriteBase should be /; in later versions which use a <Location> directive instead of a RewriteBase, this should read <Location />.

• You may need to create a virtual host in Apache to complement httpd-vufind.conf which uses your VuFind public directory as its DocumentRoot. For example:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/vufind2/public
    ServerName yourdomain.edu
    ServerAlias www.yourdomain.edu
</VirtualHost>
