Thank you for hosting with Lunarpages.  Easiest way to fix this would be to rename or delete the index.html file that is in the public_html folder.  Hope that helps!

you don't need support for this

you have 2 options
option 1 (best)
you need to move your joomla site to your root directory...just move EVERYTHING from    / public_html /joomal/ to  just   /public_html/
then in your configuration.php file you will need to change these lines
Code:
var $log_path = '/home/your_account_user_name/public_html/joomla/logs';
to this
Code:
var $log_path = '/home/your_account_user_name/public_html/logs';

this
Code:
var $tmp_path = '/home/your_account_user_name/public_html/joomla/tmp';
to this
Code:
var $tmp_path = '/home/your_account_user_name/public_html/tmp';

and this
Code:
var $ftp_root = '/public_html/joomla';
to this
Code:
var $ftp_root = '/public_html';

in the examples above /your_account_user_name/ should already be there...

or Option 2
in your htaccess file... the one at /public_html/  NOT the one at /public_html/joomla/
add this line
Code:
RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://www.musafirmania.com/joomla/

this will add a permanent redirect from the root folder to the site located in the /joomla folder


EDIT:
there is also a 3rd option, just log into your cpanel and click on "redirects"
leave the first field blank and in the second field enter www.musafirmania.com/joomla/
then on the pulldown menu set it to permanent and click add.
this will just add the code from option 2 to youy htaccess file.

if you decide to go with option 1 later, you can just go back and remove the redirect.
