Drupal: installing it in a subfolder

this is a question about drupal installation on server.

I usually upload my drupal into a subfolder "drupal" and I ask my customers to check the website in such subfolders until when it is ready. The开发者_高级运维n I asl to change the default folder in Apache to the "drupal" one.

Sometimes my customer cannot change Apache configuration, so I was wondering if I can use a php script to forward users from root folder to the drupal one, or I should move the website to the root folder (which I would prefer to avoid, because is time consuming).

thanks

See Taking your site live

Can't you do the redirection in cpanel, or in .htaccess?

In that way you won't touch your drupal code.
