Moving my Zen Cart to another folder

I have installed my Zen cart to a folder called SHOP on my webspace, but I now wish to move the whole shop to the root directory.

e.g.
Move from: http://www.mydomain.com/shop/

To: http://www.mydomain.com/

What settings will I need to make in the Admin, files to edit and any possible changes in the MYSQL database?

Many thanks in advance.

Re: Moving my Zen Cart to another folder

Moving directories or moving to the root is nothing more than moving the files to the right directory or up a level in the case of the root and changing the two files:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

to reflect the new path that you are using ... :smile:

NOTE: backups of your database and site, first, never hurts ...
