can't change directory name

Hi Guys, hope you can help; aiming to change the name of the zencart directory, which is what I installed it as, to "kilts online" to better reflect the nature of the store etc, tried following all the instructions on https://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?160-i-have-installed-zen-cart-to-a-directory-how-do-i-rename-or-move-that-directory,
but when it's done all the formatting, images etc disappears from the site. Had to change it back; any idea what I'm doing wrong?
All the best

Re: can't change directory name

Did you *really *have that space in the directory name? If so, try **kilts_online **instead.

Yep, or simply kiltsonline - that space could just be the culprit...

Re: can't change directory name

Did you clear the browser cache after changing the folder name and all of the references in includes/configure.php? Also is there an .htaccess file in your main directory and/or in your "zencart" directory that contains a reference to your "zencart" directory that didn't get updated?
