rename folder that concrete 5 is installed in

Permalink
Panic!

I am trying to rename the folder that concrete 5 is installed in.

I created the sitehttp://www.mysite.com/thework where "thework" is where I installed concrete5.

Now, going live I want to name that folder appropriately. to "gallery"

When I try to rename it at the folder level I get 404 errors.

What configuration files do I need to change? I am using 5.5.2.1

Thanks

Do you have access to the file manager in the control panel on your website?

I have been able to move complete file directory from folder to folder quite easily in the File Manager of the website (via the site Control Panel).

If you have access, create your folder. Then go into the file manager and select all, moving them to the new directory.

When you navigate to that directory, everything should work.

If you don't have access, you might try contacting your hosting support team and asking them for help.

Have a look in your 'root/config/site.php' for a line that defines DIR_REL. This tells C5 that your site is actually in a DIRectory RELative to the root.

This should now read

define('DIR_REL', '/gallery');

Give it a go.
