subdirectory to root

Ok I am thinking before I upload any more of my images, I will need to move my cart from the subdirectory to the root directory.

I have tried this and it is not as easy as I had hoped - jut the act of moving the folders from the cart folder to the root directory has been bit trick
but I am also sure I will have to reconfigure my files along with my images.

I believe i saw a tutorial on this but can not seem to find it again.
Can anyone point? TIA

Re: subdirectory to root

Try searching the Tutorials/FAQ for "change directory"

Re: subdirectory to root

You can do it but make sure you change the URL in configuration file from subfolder to root directory. Also check the .htaccess.

It's here:

Moving the folders and files should just be a 5-second matter of dragging and dropping in your FTP client. What problems did you have?

Re: subdirectory to root

Fantastic
I copied off the tutorial and was going thru a dry run.
Went into the Admin>config> and was shocked to see that the session directory was set on the computer path instead of my website path - the website is working and I had run the fix cache when I origianlly uploaded it.
Comments?
