I am confounded. Just for fun I tried changing the paths on another site that is a fresh install of 2.3.2. No problems.

The site upgraded from 2.2.4 is not happy. Something other than mainfile.php wants the old xoops_data folder because mainfile.php does not include the name of the old folder any more.

Any ideas anyone?

Did you emptied all cache directories?

I emptied xoops_data/caches/smarty_cache, smarty_compile, and xoops_cache except for the index.html file.

Public_html/cache also empty.

Did I miss anything?

I just updated the system module again and the files are put into the old xoops_data/caches/smarty_compile folder.

Could it matter that I used the Protector prefix manager to change my database prefix? That is also changed in mainfile.php however.

I just did a fresh install of v.2.3.2 and changed the actual directory names to something entirely different. It gave me the option to change those names in config during install. No problems whatsoever.

Yes, it works like a charm on install.

My resolution has been the status quo. I want to go through the content of the folders and delete one file at a time to see which one is actually causing the issue, but can't find the time.

For now I have no solution and have been unable to change the folder location successfully.
