Changing directory?

[Potku]

Hello all!

Our CMS Made Simple is installed at /root/site/, but I would like to move it to just the root and do away with the folder named "site". I did not install our CMSMS, and the person who did, is not available for this project, so I thought I would turn to you.

What all should I take into consideration while changing the directory?

Thanks!


PS. First post, good to be here!

Clear cache in admin.
Make a backup of fiels and db.

Next -
Move or copy all files and folders up to your root.
Set config.php to allow edit.
Change all the paths that points to old position to point to new position. Save and set config.php to write protected again.

I would like to expand on what reneh said. First, database backup is required. Second, try to avoid ftp to move the files. It will take long, not easy to do, and might introduce errors. See if you can use a solution provided by your host (some have direct access to file operations in their control panel), or do it on server thru SSH.

Thank you for the replies.

We took your advice and decided to keep that folder.

Thanks!
