I have decided to use wordpress for my CMS and want to move my VB installation to forums.____________.com and move wordpress from __________.com/blog to the root. Is it jut a matter of moving the files to the correct location or do I have to also edit other information (like the databases etc)? I don't have threads or members as this is a new set up BUT I do have mods and customizations that I've put some time into getting set up that I would rather not loose with the move. Can anyone tell me what I need to do or would anyone be interested in helping me get this done ?
Hmm.. It was a while I did this kind of configuration, but my guess would be the "includes/config.php" file needs to be modified, along with the .htaccess file. If you cannot manage yourself, I can do this for you. - Meti
thanks for your input WatchOut... anybody else know for sure if thats all that needs to be updated? If that's it...I think I might be able to do it myself
I'm around 99% certain that these are the only files that needs to be modified in order to move your web site to another location. - Meti
also settings in database needs to be changed, look at table datastore with phpmyadmin.. if not changed you keep getting loggedout, also check attachments storage path if using them with filestorage instead of database storage for attachments
Database settings are also required to be modified however if I were him instead of doing the changes on phpMyAdmin I would apply the changes on the adminCP right before I move the web site this way he wouldn't be required to do the edit process through phpMyAdmin. Also, make sure you do a backup just in case you need it in the near future. Regards, Meti
