Ok i have XOOPS installed in a folder, but I want to move it to the root folder and not loose and content.

If i was to do a clean install in root and then copy all the files over would that work?

My understanding is that you will be okay to move the folder, as long as you change the define XOOPS_ROOT_PATH in mainfile.php

// XOOPS Physical Path
// Physical path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
// Example: define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/home/username/public_html');
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH''/home/username/public_html');


you may also have to change the define XOOPS_URL in mainfile.php, depends where you are moving it to.

// XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)
// Virtual path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
// Example: define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://www.example.com');
define('XOOPS_URL''http://www.example.com');

You may want to backup what you have in ../public_html first, that is, if any XOOPS files are going to overwrite what is there now.

yea i moved all of those files to a subdomain.

I do have one question. I moved everything, it seems to be fine except for one thing. In the Admin panel, it does not show the modules installed on the left like it did before. I have to click on 'admin' module then 'modules' to get to the other modules.

how can i fix this?

Hmm, well you have obviously changed this ....

define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://www.example.com/xoops');

to ..

define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://www.example.com');

I'd try deleting any files in the /cache path, plus delete all files in the /templates_c path (except for index.html), .. it may just be a cache problem ?
