Placement of the robots.txt file for multiple domains

Question

My website is located in a sub folder, but I assigned a domain to this sub folder so the location of the robots.txt file is www.example.com/robots.txt even though I installed Joomla in a subfolder.

Is this correct? Because Google Webmaster Tools does not list the URLs specified in the robots.txt as blocked.

Answer 1

For example.com, the robots.txt needs to be accessible at example.com/robots.txt.

It it doesn’t matter how this is accomplished on the server-side.
