[SOLVED] How to change installation directory?
Posted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 10:29 pm
I have a shared Linux/Apache hosting account with GoDaddy and I used their (Joomla's?) installation method. Basically I clicked GoDaddy's "Install Now!" button and answered a few questions. This is Joomla! 1.5.22 Stable.
One of the initial questions was: what directory should Joomla be installed in?
Since I was a newbie (still?) and didn't want to disrupt my existing website, I had it installed into a directory different from the normal, preset directory; let's call mine "example." This means that to see my Joomla pages, one has to navigate to http://www.mysite.com/example/index.php
Now that I am comfortable with Joomla and have it looking/working the way I want, I want to "move" everything back to normal, i.e., http://www.mysite.com/index.php
I am aware of configuration.php and "var $live_site = 'http://mysite.com/example';" but beyond this I really don't know what else I have to change/do etc.
So will someone please help me with this? Thank you!
