Sanity check: moving install directory

I've been testing my ZC on a subdomain, and now I wish to move it from that directory to the live domain directory.

So, I'm moving from:

subdomain.mysite.com

to

mysite.com

Am I correct in saying that since I'll be using the same database (and database hostname) that all I need do is alter the appropriate settings in includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php, as listed in step 7 here:

Or might I be missing a step?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Sanity check: moving install directory

After moving the actual files from the subdomain to the root, those configure file edits should do it.
