This tutorial will show you how to change the installed directory of your Joomla site.
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.
