Site Move Help

Permalink
Hello, I'm about to move a new Concrete5 build I've done for a client and push it live. It currently lives athttp://www.sitename.com/c5. In other words, I simply built the entire site and C5 install in a subfolder of the existing site using their current host - 1and1.com. When I make the move, what C5 folder or directory do I move to the root of the site to get the C5 build live? (i.e. start from the "packages" folder, just the "business_theme" folder or all the way from the C5 folder...etc). I hope that makes sense. Any help anyone can provide is appreciated.

You'll want to move everything currently at the top level of your web directory on the server (it's called different things on different hosts, e.g. htdocs, www, httpdocs, public_html, etc.) into a new subfolder to get it out of the way, then move everything in your c5 site subdirectory up to the top. Then you'll need to change the DIR_REL setting in config/site.php, and the RewriteBase setting in your .htaccess file (if you had pretty url's enabled).
See this post for more details on the config settings:
