Yes, that happened as expected, I've PM'd you. Thanks Paul.

Hi Paul/Michael/Nesla, I've moved the files no problem, I was not asked to re-instate my license. Thanks

Hi Michael, I just did that and now I get: examplehost/billing/billing/login so I gather that if I have the installation location as / I will then have my clients logging in via /billing/login while everyone would be accessing the "site" via / I did it for admin as well: Configure::set("Route.admin", "billing"); That sounds better, I was merely using the recommended settings but would physically moving the installation files to the root require a license re-issue? I think you'd said in another post: this would be fine but with Pauls' graciousness I'd say he would allow me to restart my trial. Cheers

Hi Michael, I looked at the kb for that: https://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Installing+Blesta but it won't get me one level up from the installation directory. If only there was a way, I'd be signing up today.

From what I can gather, so-called static pages can only be generated in the same directory as where Blesta is installed, whereas I am wanting to have them separate so I can use Blesta as a CMS as well as a billing system but billing only occur in /billing and not the / directory

I was wondering how I might be able to change my installation location from examplehost/billing to / without invalidating my license. Any guidance or pointers would be appreciated. Thank you

So I gather there is technically no way to do what I'm asking then?

Would that be true of the method described in the original post made by Rodrigo?

Hi and thank you for responding. Can those pages exist outside of the Blesta Directory and would they include all but the branding in the footer or is there some other branding (required or not) I'm not aware of? I look forward to your replying.

I'm under the impression that to develop locally I'd need a developer license, which may or may not be available with a lifetime license. I know Blesta is not a CMS but my intention is to build a site around it and while I'm happy to pay a monthly charge, having the luxury of being able to develop locally would save me alot of money in the medium term at least since I'd not have many (or any) customers to begin with. Of course this could all be subjective as a lifetime license is just that and I am open to obtaining one as an investment but having to work remotely all the time is not my idea of flexibility. I was hoping to be able to do this with WHMCS but alas, the assumptions made by those in charge of that platform were enough to turn me off even before a trial and then hearing how just about every file is encrypted really killed it before I even felt any level of trust. I don't want to make what I see as the mistake of focussing on customers in the short term, when there are many other things to be concerned with such as Media Queries for CSS which as you may know take a great deal of time to develop not to mention intergrating with an existing CMS on the server side, and while it may not be the suggested approach; it is nonethless what I wish to do.

Thanks again for responding to my question. So do you mean I can use a monthly or lifetime license with something like examplehost.local as well as examplehost.com?

If I want to develop on Localhost and via a Public IP, do I need to have a developer license or would I be approved for at least a local and public domain? I am used to using Perch where you can nominate Production, Staging and Development domains and it works very well; it's monitored against gaming and is a very modern approach so I was hoping Blesta would be similar in that regard.

Did you pass the System Requirements?

Got it mate, legend:) I will look at some of the parameters and see if I can make another page. End game for me is to be able to create a page in the root, i.e. http://examplehost.com when i have http://examplehost.com/billing as my Blesta installation location. Thanks again

Hi Michael, By Services, I gather you mean when they are initially ordered by a person; yes I will not be manually creating client information in the long run of course. I will have a look at cron jobs, but the part I am mainly concerned about at present is how to ensure I can get payment. I appreciate the information you have given me, as I will need to know about that at some point. Thanks again
