Remove any index.htm, index.html files in the root directory of the website, and replace it with index.php. In that file, put
<br /><?php
<br />header("HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently");
<br />header("Location: http://www.domain.com/new-directory-name/");
<br />?>
<br />
<br />That will direct the requests for that site into the new-directory-name location, and Joomla will work. We use that on lots of sites. Most of the time - its someone who has built Joomla or Wordpress in a directory under the root of the website (we recommend they use "cms"). The redirect is simple to put in place once the Joomla build is done and working - and it doesn't affect the original website in the root directory while the Joomla is being built/debugged.
