Tutorial Text

• In this tutorial we will be changing the directory that Joomla is installed in. This same method can be used when moving Joomla from one host to another.
• To begin, we will change the name of the directory. You can also apply this method to copy from a subdirectory to the root directory.
• Let's change the name from joomla to joomlasite
• Now we need to update the path information in configuration.php. If you are changing hosts, it is likely you will need to change the MySQL info as well.
• First we will change $mosConfig_absolute_path to the new path. This is where Joomla resides on the server.
• Now we will change $mosConfig_live_site. This is the URL for your site.
• If you have enabled the cache, you will need to update $mosConfig_cachepath. This will be the same as the absolute path with /cache on the end of it.
• Now we will save the file. Joomla is now ready to go at the new location.
