Change the installation-folder

[Jarska]

Hi all!

I was wondering, when I start to make a website for my client, I'll make a folder called "test", so my client can check the website before I'll publish it.

Well, the problem is when I start making a website, I'll make a path something like this: "http://www.something.com/test/. When the website was ready I was trying to publish it, so I tried to move all files to public_html-folder, then I test the site and it didn't work. Then I move files back to /test folder and it worked.

How can I fix that?

Check config.php for any hardcoded paths/url and fix or remove them (these aren't used on a default installation of CMSMS for quite some time and are only needed on special situations).
And, of course, go to the admin console and clear cache.

Also you need to define

it didn't work

In what way....error messages? Broken links/images?.....

Some times when moving to the root of site from subfolder you need to declare the root URL in the config.php file, or run yoursite.com/install/upgrade.php to fix any errant paths...
