What is the best way to change server directory,

[chevyracn]

Hello,
I want to change my store from the /catalog/ directory to the /public_html/ directory, what would be the best way to do this? and what all files do I need to edit? any help would be great, thanks

Two files changed (both configure.php)

Just to confirm ....and you want to move it to root ie from mysite.com/catalog/ to mysite.com..... or mysite.com/public_html

Then move all the files from /catalog/ to the new directory

Modify any links to your /catalog/ directory....

Done..

PS...make sure you have "closed" it before doing it.....open it back up when done.....

Good Luck

You might want to add this to your htaccess file too so any existing links to pages in your site will still work:

Redirect permanent /catalog http://yourdomain.com/
