[solved] Moved directory, now seeing blank pages?

I've been working on a cmsms installation in a sub-folder until all the content was added and the layout was finished, so as not to disrupt the current site. Now it is time to launch the new site and I want to move the cms into the main directory.

I moved the files, and updated the config.php file with the new path.

Now all I see are blank pages. Nothing, no front end, no back end.

I realize now I should have *copied* the files, rather than just plain moved them, but even after copying the files back into the subfolder, I am getting blank pages there as well.

The host does not provide phpmyadmin, so I don't have a way to backup the database. I can access the install pages, but I'm paranoid to re-run that process that I'll lose everything in the database that I've been working on for months.

Any advice? I'm in a bit of a panic right now, as I have no idea what is causing this or how to resolve it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have you deleted all of the files in /tmp/cache and tmp/templates_c?
Are you sure you changed all of the paths and urls in the config.php file?

Perfect! Thank you so much. I had read about clearing the cache through the admin, but wasn't sure how to do that when I couldn't access that admin. Thank you again!!
