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?

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. On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 4:53 AM, Dave Stevens <geek@uniserve.com> wrote:

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 ? On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 10:24 PM, Dick Hoogendijk <dick@nagual.nl> wrote:

[ Ubuntu; Drupal 7 ] dh> You can also make use of the alias statement in the Apache config file. 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?

Check your settings.php file. If I'm not mistaking the installed directory is in there and used in creating links. Bert On 25/08/2011 1:23, Dave Stevens wrote:
