Changing the Xoops URL

Currently, all of my XOOPS stuff is in this location: www.website.com/test/xoops/htdocs

How do I change my XOOPS URL so that it points to www.website.com? Basically, when someone goes to www.website.com then the XOOPS stuff should show up and everything that's tied into the databases and such shouldn't get messed up because I changed directories. If I move everything out of my htdocs folder to the main root directory, is that going to mess something up with the databse configurations?

I hope I explained this correctly...

Thanks. So all I have to do is move all of the XOOPS stuff to the main root directory and change the path in mainfile.php?

Or do I just change the path in mainfile.php only and that's it?

Why you installed XOOPS in this location?
www.website.com/test/xoops/htdocs


it would be better to install it in
www.website.com/
or
www.website.com/subfolder/

as Runeher said, you can move it to where ever you want then edit the paths in mainfile.php

Database has nothing to do with moving folders.

I installed XOOPS in that location because I was working on redesigning it and such and didn't want it to be public yet. Thank you for the help, though. I just wanted to make sure nothing will mess up when I start moving folders! :)
