Moving the installation.

Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 1:36 pm

I'm hosting at IPowerWeb (yeah, I know the mysql issues and am OK with it for now.)

I installed RavenNuke 7.6 v2 in a subdomain. This has allowed me to do the install, learn and play before going live. Now that it's almost ready, I need to understand how to move the installation to my domain proper - instead of the subdomain.

Current installation is working at ...
Subdomain = subdomain.graciouscall.org
Docroot maps to /home/public_html/subdomain/

I want to move it to ...
Domain = [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
Docroot maps to /home/public_html/

I'm thinking that I need to:

1) change the preferences page site URL to [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
2) move all the files and directories from /home/public_html/subdomain/ to /home/public_html/

Is there anything beyond this that I need to do to make the move smoothly and have everything work? Any gotchas in doing this? Or do I need to same my tables and reinstall at the primary domain?

You would also need to alter the uel in the Forum Admin-> Configuration due to the change in site location.
Other than that you should be good to go.

Thanks for your help with this. The move went off without a hitch in April.
