Hello, I have been testing out drupal and like what I see so far. I installed it to my site in a subfolder in this manner:

www.domain.com/drupal

When I am ready to go live with it, do I just copy all the files from /drupal to my root folder - / ? Is there anything else to configure after that?

Thanks for your time!

That should do it. You *may* have to fiddle with the .htaccess file and the settings.php file to get the base URL right (if you changed it to identify your subdirectory). Otherwise you should be fine. Also, make sure that you have no index.html file in your root as that will interfere with index.php.

All you have to do is adjust the .htaccess file to point request to the "drupal" folder.

I usually keep my drupal installations in versioned folders like /drupal/drupal_5.7/

The only other thing you have to do is be sure to set base_url in the settings.php file so that drupal generates links without the extra path included. The user then never sees the extra path info.
