Is it possible to change install directory (after installation)?
Permalink
Hi,
I installed concrete5 into my public_html/conc/ directory, but now want to eliminate the conc folder from appearing in all my URLs.
(1) I know there's some information out there how to do this using .htaccess, such as
https://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/developers/hide-the-...
but I'm worried that future updates to concrete5 might break this.
(2) I'm wondering if it's possible to simply place everything in the ~public_html/conc/ folder into the ~public_html folder and be done with it? For example
# mvdir /path/to/public_html/conc/ /path/to/public_html/.
Or, will all heck break loose?
Hoping for feedback whether this can be done, and/or if anything else needs to be changed to make this type of solution work?

Just wondering if anyone has succeeded using this procedure in 5.6.x?
Yes, moving a site between directories or between hosts is pretty much the same.
I'm having problems with this procedure, using 5.6.3. Most likely it's me. What I did:
1. Login to website as admin.
2. Turned pretty urls off
3. cleared cache
4. moved files from ~public_html/conc/ to ~public_html
5. opened browser, cleared browser cache
6. entered my website url
7. entered login information for admin in concrete5 login page
8. I see the following error:
Not Found
The requested URL /login/do_login/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Any idea what went wrong?
UPDATE
I fixed it by adding the following to my .htaccess file in the pubic_html folder:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I thought this only was needed when Pretty URLs is enabled, but guess I was wrong.

Why do some of my pages seemingly randomly show index.php in the URL?
For example,
www.www.mydomain.com/index.php/hello.html...
Manually entering the URL without index.php in it works OK.
www.www.mydomain.com/hello.html...
Anyway to eliminate index.php from appearing in the URLs?
I have pretty urls enabled.
UPDATE
It appears to have been cache related... I don't see it anymore.

The glitches you are seeing are typical of out of date cache entries being carried across with the copy. If you made a point of not moving any cache files, there are also block cache records in the database the glitches could be coming from.
The process here should take care of you.
