Moving upgrade to root folder

[peedeefish]

I am running 1.3.8a on my root folder. I created folder new to store the upgrade, in case something went wrong. Everything seems to be good.

Can I just move the files from new to the root, and change the configure.php files?

The best is to follow the tutorial - first put your website down for maitenance. then move the existing files out - I put them into a holding folder so that your original filesand folders are still there and unharmed. Then move the new folders into the root directory. Test Test and open for business.

Hope this helps
