How do I move my site out of the folder it's in?

Hello,

I am new to zencart, I've added products to my site, now I want my customers to be able to access my site directly without the "zencart" part as in "mySite.com/zencart". how can I accomplish that? also I want to know if there is a development version of my site, in other words a site similar to the one in production where I can test changes before putting them to production.

Hi,
This article should help: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?160-i-have-installed-zen-cart-to-a-directory-how-do-i-rename-or-move-that-directory

Basically, move the files using your FTP program, and then change the foldername in your configure.php file to reflect the change. See the article for details of the edits to make.
