Moving C5 folders

Permalink
Hoping someone can clarify for me....

I have an existing website not running on C5, but I was going to install C5 in a subfolder and rebuild the site there. Once completed, can I just drag all the files into the root and remove the old ones? Will I need to update the .htaccess file or any other files to ensure it moves across seamlessly?

Any tips/suggestions greatly appreciated

Yes, you can do that.
The .htaccess file will need to be updated (I think only if Pretty URLs were enabled) ... change this line:

RewriteBase ...

and possibly site.php in the config folder as well if it has these lines in it (seems to only be in older versions of C5 though):

define('BASE_URL', 'http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com');
define('DIR_REL', '');

Rather than move the subfolder, with many hosts you can simply change the domain pointer so it points directly to the subfolder.
