Move website from subfolder to rootfolder?

[okp]

I have installed cmsms for now in a subfolder called ..public_html/cms/
Can I move the whole site to the rootfolder ..public_html once I finnished everything? if yes, is that just copy paste of all, or do I need to edit some files?path?

thx

Why move it? You probably don't want to see a URL like "http://www.yourdomain.com/cms/page but rather "http://www.yourdomain.com/page?
That can be done using an .htaccess file.
Have a look at the Tips & Tricks: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... =4&t=64779
No need to move your files.

OK, looks fine to me, that will probably work.
BUT, will that not effect search engines like Google? as the index page is not in the root folder?

thx

Yes frankmanl is right, you don't have to move it. But I do anyway, I prefer to have it in the right place rather than have rules in htaccess - just personal preference really.

To move it, just zip the whole cms directory up, keep a copy as a backup and unzip it in the root. The database will still work OK but you might find you have to change some paths in your CSS or templates - just click around your site; you'll soon see if you need to.
