I've been searching this site and google and haven't found a good answer to how to do this. I am installing another software package on my website that will be hosted under the same domain name along with drupal. Right now the drupal installation is in the top directory of my site (www.mydomainname.com) and it seems to be interfering with the other software so I want to move Drupal to something like (www.mydomainname.com/content). Can anyone advise on how to do this or point me towards a tutorial? Thanks

Well i just tested it out on my local computer, cut everything and pasted into a folder called new and the only thing that was broken was images that I added with relative paths. So yeah I presume you just move everything into that folder, you may want to look at 301 permanently moved
if index by search engines.

Did you delete the original drupal location? When I try this, at least with the original Drupal files still where they were it doesn't work, so I'm guessing I need to delete them, I can always restore them if needed I guess I was just worried about deleting the original files

Hmm, doesn't work when I tried this (I'm doing it directly on my server), does anyone know if I need to edit some files, I'm guessing the .htaccess

did you change the directory that your webserver is using as the root directory for the site?
