d2a [Installing into subdir whilst keeping root relative Fancy URL's] added note about changing base url when editing existing installation

 The code above should be included in your .htaccess file below the RewriteBase line, but before the **RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f** line. See [[http://get-simple.info/forum/topic/286/force-or-nowww-code-for-htaccess/|this forum post]] for more information.
+===== Installing into subdir whilst keeping root relative Fancy URL's =====
+To install GetSimple into a subdir of your webserver such as .../cms/ . You may complete the installation using standard procedures. Upon completion you will want to create or edit your existing .htaccess file in the root directory of your webserver to include the following
+<code>
+RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
+RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [OR]
+RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =/
+RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cms/$1 [L]
+</code>
+Of course, you must replace "cms" in the above sample with the directory you chose to install GetSimple into. This will allow you visitors to navigate to mydomain.com/contact-us rather than mydomain.com/cms/contact-us
+If you are editing an existing installation, be sure to change the website base URL in General Settings to reflect the new root url, so the navigation links are changed.
