Hi,
I've successfully installed and tested Drupal on a hidden folder on my site, http://www.mysite.com/test and I'm very happy with it and now want to deploy it onto our main adress of http://www.mysite.com. How do I go about this? Is it simply a case of moving all the folders in /test onto the main root of my web server or are there scripts that need to be (re-)run. Any DB fixing required?

Thanks

I just did this move on my website. Here is what I did.
1. Backup
2. Copy site from /test to /root
3. Edit .htaccess
4. Edit robots.txt

I used IMCE for images so I had to go back to my post with images and edit them to remove the /test/image.jpg

You could also ask your webhost to change your home to /root/test mine said they will but I did not test this.

I made the same thing that you say, i have the 5.7 version, but i just move al the files to the root directory, and i didnt make a change into robots or anything else, but the only thing that you have to clean your cache in your web browser, because that maybe will be a problem.
