rename site directory

New Member Joined: Jun 24, 2010 Posts: 2

I have a "/main" site and a "/test" site. I'd like to rename the "/main" directory to "/archive" and rename the "/test" site to "/main." Is this advisable? Which should I change first: the site URL in admin preferences or the name of the directory on the server? thanks

I don't think it would matter unless you are forcing the "nuke url" via sentinel.

Make sure you change the url under site preferences, and the domain and cookie settings in the forums.

OK, it seemed to go pretty well. I navigated to the admin preferences, typed the new directory name, renamed the directory at the server, then hit "save" at admin prefs.

Paths in htaccess also had to be adjusted before Sentinel would let me back in.

THANKS
