Hey guys, I'm wanting to move my Drupal directory up one, is that going to cause any problems with file locations or database entries?

To the best of my knowledge, just move the files. You might need to edit the optional "$base_url =" line in sites/default/settings.php with the new location and/or anything you might have hardcoded in headers, footers, and whatnot.

There is a handbook page related to this: Taking your site live. Have not tried it myself, though. If I have any trepidations, it would be if I put in hard-coded paths in content. Drupal paths are usually relative.

Good luck!
