Hey I just tried moving my installation from a subfolder to my site root.

I checked $base_url in settings.php, and my .htaccess file seems to be fine.

However I get this error when trying the access my drupal installation:

Site off-line

The site is currently not available due to technical problems. Please try again later. Thank you for your understanding.

If you are the maintainer of this site, please check your database settings in the settings.php file and ensure that your hosting provider's database server is running. For more help, see the handbook, or contact your hosting provider.

The mysqli error was: Unable to use the MySQLi database because the MySQLi extension for PHP is not installed. Check your <code>php.ini

to see how you can enable it.

I haven't changed anything in my php.ini file, nor can I see what I'd need to do...

Nevermind, It was an htaccess thing, I just needed to add the lines:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 php
AddType application/rss+xml .rss

To my default drupal htaccess (to enable php5 for my host).
