Hello all,
I have recently installed Drupal 6.22 and access it with a URL like x.com/directoryname
It would be handy to keep the content (not much content yet) and rename (if that's the way) so I can use
x.com/otherdirectoryname
without reinstalling or changing users, etc.
Simple directory renaming won't do and I CAN reinstall and copy content, but is there a simple way to do this?
Dave
Hello Dave,
I believe by changing the directory name only you should achieve what you want to. Tried it on my server too and all worked good.
If in case you have hardcoded a link, then I think, you will face a issue, else all should go well.

Bert, i tried searching for it, the installed directory name was nowhere in the file. I am on windows / Xampp, is this what might be causing differences ?

This didn't work for me. For some reason, the "alias" wasn't recognized.
Used a "symbolic link" as a "workaround":
# ln -s /usr/share/drupal7 /var/www/drupal
Anyone know why the Alias directive didn't work?
Thanks,
Check your settings.php file. If I'm not mistaking the installed directory is in there and used in creating links.
