Q: Changing Directory After Install
-----------------------------------
Hi,
I've decide to try and (re)build my site using IP, but I have lot of things to transfer.
Before install I would like to ask if it is possible to install IP using path like:
http://myweb.com/icy_phoenix/index.php

... and later on, after setting it up properly, to move everything from that dir into website root, like:
http://myweb.com/index.php

Thanks in advance!

the only thing to change is in the DB.

Table ip_config

entry : script_path

should be /icy_phoenix/ if you install in a subfolder. Just change it to / and it should work

That sounds simple enough. I'll give it a go and let you know for sure.
Thanks for reply.

Thank you! 

I was going to ask about that myself, I have moved my forum from one domain to another but the way I did that was, "find/replace" everything in the DB.

I plan on moving another just wanted to know a little more about the correct way to do it.


EDIT: Not only do you want to empty the cache, but dont forget to change anything in your .htaccess file you may need to.

Re: Q: Changing Directory After Install

find and replace is OK, when you change Domain, becaus of BBcodes of images posted

since the BBcode includes the domain name

If you move to another domain you also should check config.php if your DB name and pass is still right.

I would use mysqldumper to save the database and find and replace with a texteditor maybe UltraEdit.
After that you can reupload you db using mysqldumper again.

Like spydie wrote, that is importaint to check in DB
Table ip_config
entry : script_path

Maybe also cookie_name cookie_path and cookie_domain ;-)
