I've set up PHP-Nuke in a directory of it's own for testing purposes. When I complete the site (filling it with content and such), can it be moved to the main directory without losing anything :?: I already planned ahead and made any picture links, that might be in a news story or content page, to a directory under the main site. Other than that, should I have any problems :?:

Others have reported problems moving their phpnuke sites from a subdirectory. Main problem. Loggin.

Do some extensive testing after your move to make sure everything works correctly. Make sure you change the paths of your site in your Forum Configuration(ADMIN) and Nuke Admin Preferences. Also change any hardcoded paths in your files that you have had to change...

example:
/subdirectory/modules.php?name=Your_Account
to
/modules/php?name=Your_Account

ok that doesn't sound too bad...

Anything that goes into the database should be fine though right?

like:
downloads
web links
news
content and so forth

most of those paths SHOULD change when you change your site path in Nuke Preferences and Forums Admin Configuration.

"most" ...well that's better than "none" :P

thanks

yes, all should change according to where youve moved it, as long as your config stays the same. now if youre switching from one database to another...thats a different story

yeah I'm just moving it up a few directories on the site, so I'm not switching dbs or anything.

thanks for the info guys :wink:
