Moving a test site to the final site

[stardust**]

I have my test site installed on an add-on domain in a Test file. I now want to move that site to the main domain, where the site opens up to the zencart.

Can someone direct me to the exact instructions for doing this -- and where I will need to make changes within the files?

Is there anything different that I should do? The server is the same, but the domains are different.

Whoops, nevermind. I see the Title says 'move to another folder on your server'.

I can take it from here. :)

Backing up everything first does not change.
You cannot move zencart to a new/different domain,
even if on the same server, but you can COPY.
i.e use ftp to download existing zencart install.
Take copy of existing database..
Upload downloaded files to new domain..
create database on new domain..
install your copied mysql database there..
ALTER BOTH CONFIG FILES, on new domain,
to reflect domain change/move.
