 * Hi.
 * I installed my blog with no problem : its actually in a subfolder but it shows
   to other like its in root. I assigned an URL to the settings and i have an index.
   php file in root that make this working (as in the ‘how to’ here).
 * Ok but now i need to install another application (called Indxr) than wordpress
   and it needs to be in root. SO i created a subdomain with a root folder. And 
   i installed there. But it doesn’t work.
 * I think i may have to move wordpress in root ?
 * If yes, i would like to know how to do it. IS there any ‘how to’ for doin this?
   I’m scarred !

 * I never had to, but I’d read [this](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
   before I’d start.

 * Yep i found that.
 * But i would like to know if moving it could solve my issue, if not : why doing
   it ? 🙂
 * Creating a subdomain with a root folder is like having 2 differents sites right?
   
   So the other app should work as if there is no wordpress at all right ?
