Removing subfolder without disrupting site...

v.1.3.8
IH2/ and various other add-ons (ship & Pmt)

Orignally had issues getting things to cooperate when using Xampp so uploaded to server as test store. Turned out it was perfect for me when done. Since then have not been able to figure out a way to remove or change the actual index / catolog page to what it really is...

Example: https://www.wreckersource.com is site URL, and https://www.wreckersource.com/re_try_site_1/ is what is currently. I use (2) two .com names to get to the site, https://www.wreckerequip.com as primary and https://www.wreckersource.com as a pointer. Either link takes you to an "Intro Flash Page" initially, and the link on that page or the re-direct function the takes you the actuall store home page.

What I would like to do is change the "re_try_site_1" folder or whatever...to: "Catalog"
Example: "http://www.wreckersource.com/Catalog/..."

The answer is probably posted in a Gazzilion places...I just can't seem to find it. Tried it on my own...ONCE!! and everything went stupid on me, so configured back to original working order.

Thank You for Your Time and Consideration.

It's just a matter of editing the two configure.php files (one in admin/includes and one in /includes) to replace every instance of re_try_site_1 with Catalog. (I'd suggest a lower-case catalog).

... and renaming the folder using your FTP connection.

If searchengines have indexed even one page of the test site, you'll also need a redirect from the test folder to the new folder.
