(In Short)
In Home » Administer » Site configuration » Site information » "Default front page", I'm needing to know how/where I can change the site's default URL prefix (the greyed out part). (and I feel it has to be somewhere other than sites/default/settings.php)

(In Long)

I wanted redo my site using Drupal so I installed a Drupal site (using host's install method) to....

example.com/sub/drupal

After all was complete, I wanted to move it to the correct folder (which is masked by my host). The actual domain is...

example.com/sub/sub/Drupal (just moved it down 1 more level)

but it's masked as

example2.com (which leads to above Url)

My "Site Information" page still shows

example.com/sub/

as the "Default front page"

Where and how do I change that url? I see mention of sites/default/settings.php, but I have 4 other Drupal sites on this same host, none of which even utilize this file, so I really think it has to be set somewhere else as well. I've checked my SQL db and did not see an instance of this URL in there, so I'm guessing it has to be in a file somewhere... but where? I looked for a language file to see if it was pulling from there, but I'm not sure where a language file might be located. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ensure that you are accessing the site through the new domain.

Then make sure the base url in settings.php is correct.

And make sure you change the $cookie_domain setting as well, otherwise you may not be able to log in to your site, which gives you the heebie jeebies!

I'm having the same problem right now actually.. the greyed out part says URL.com/?q= but I need to add a index.php before the ?q= for the pages of my site to work..

did you by chance end up finding a solution to this that actually worked?

Thank you

An old issue, but still thought that I should say something. To get rid of the ?q=, just turn on clean url's.
