Hi, I'm new to XOOPS and have been playing around with it on my site for a bit. Currently my XOOPS stuff is in a sub-directory away from the main parts of my website until I get things fully-up and running. Once I get my XOOPS site finished, is it possible to transfer the folder to the main part of my website without messing up anything? For example:

Currently, my XOOPS stuff is in:
http://www.website.com/testPrograms/newWebsite/xoopsStuff/

When I'm finished designing my site, is it possible to move my XOOPS folder to the main directory so when you type in http://www.website.com the new XOOPS website comes up?

Will things get messed up (ie: modules not working correctly if the directories are moved) if I do this?

I hope this makes sense... Thanks.

Will not be a problem. Next to transferring the files you have to edit mainfile.php in the root folder. Changing the path statements should do the trick.

I don't know if you used Iframes or placed pictures or flash the manual way in content. In this case fixing some urls will be nescessary.

you change your XOOPS_URL and XOOPS_ROOT_PATH in your mainfile.php and everything works fine.
