    Yes, I’m also looking for the same exact solution mentioned by others here:
    Is there a way to leave ModX in the www.example.com/modx/ folder but be able to reference it as www.example.com/?

    And yes, I’m also with GoDaddy. The install put ModX into the /modx folder. There was an option to install it in the root, but here’s my concern: I’m going to want SEO-Friendly-URLs, so I’ll already be creating Rewrites in .htaccess.

    Seems to me that installing ModX into a /modx sub-directory will give me more options for Rewriting friendly ModX URLs later. (I’ll be able to leave any non-ModX scripts in the root alone, plus I’ll know that any URLS in /modx will definitely use the ModX URL structure).

    But it’s not enough to just remove the /modx from the URL...I also need to transform the "index.php?id=xxx" into a "pretty" format as well.

    Seems likely that someone else has already resolved these two issues with a few real-world .htaccess entries that actually work on their site. Anyone?

      I would imagine that most people would solve this issue with virtual domains.
