Relocate Joomla with content from Subfolder to Root

Hi there,

I'm nearly there with the configuration of my new site but Its now become obvious that it might not be so easy to simply use the FTP browser to drag and drop the content of /subfolder/ to root. Do you have any suggestions to make this easier (ie without going through and checking all the image paths etc don't have /subfolder/ in them)?? Do I have to reinstall Joomla in the root and basically do everything again?

Hello,

1. You move the /subfolder/ to root using FTP

2. Edit configuration.php file and change lines:

to reflect your current path.

That's it, you are done. If you used absolute paths of the images (it's a very bad idea) in your content instead of relative, you will need to update them all.

Best regards,
Milos
