Is there a reason why you can't update the httpd.conf for the site so 
that the DocumentRoot is public_html/drupal6 instead of public_html?

Cache tables, sessions table probably need to be truncated.  Browser 
caches may need to be emptied as well.  Did you change the RewriteBase 
in the .htaccess file?
