Moving site to root?

[JiiPee]

Hi.
Since I create my sites in the sub folder for previewing and testing with clients, at the end I need to change them to the root on my server.

I have done this many times before with no problem, but now I cannot seem to get it work. What is different than before, I use latest 1.11.1 version, installed via Softaculous.

Config file seems very minimal compared to old versions, maybe that is because of Softaculous or is this because of the new version? It has only these lines:

Code: Select all

<?php
# CMS Made Simple Configuration File
# Documentation: /doc/CMSMS_config_reference.pdf
#
$config['dbms'] = 'mysql';
$config['db_hostname'] = 'xxxxxx';
$config['db_username'] = 'xxxxxx';
$config['db_password'] = 'xxxxxx';
$config['db_name'] = 'xxxxxx';
$config['db_prefix'] = 'xxxxxx';
$config['timezone'] = 'xxxxxx';
?>

After transferring the files to root I tried adding there $config['root_url'] = 'http://www.mysiteroot.com/'; but with no luck.

I also tried with modifying the old cmsms version config file but that didnt help either.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: After the transfer and config change, I only have one bullet mark in the site, with this source code. No errors or anything.

Code: Select all

  </__body>
    <div id="ncleanblue">
      <div id="pagewrapper" class="core-wrap-960 core-center">

        <ul class="accessibility">
          <li>

That's because of the new CMSms version

You might want to check http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/moving if you followed all the required steps.

Thanks!

I believe this was only because I forgot to clear the cache. Clear cache is not in the old place anymore in this new version, (site admin/system maintenance) This could be updated to docs also.
