removing it from the subdirectory to the root is as easy as moving the files and clearing the cache in adminsiter -> performance.

Sometimes it seems necessary to turn off clean urls before the move, and reenable clean urls after the move.

Hi VeryMisunderstood

Thanks for your help...

I went to adminsiter -> performance But I've the cache mode diable... What I need do?

I've change in settings.php this string:

$base_url = 'http://www.walterfantauzzi.com/drupal51';

in

$base_url = 'http://www.walterfantauzzi.com';

I've see that everything I do with drupal admin goes into my drupal51 folder and not in root. For example If I need a module, I need to put it in www.walterfantauzzi.com/drupal51/modules and not www.walterfantauzzi.com/modules

I think I have done a big error to install into drupal51 folder :(

whether cache mode is disabled or not, Drupal still caches some necessary things.
I'd empty the cache tables using phpmyadmin to ensure nothing is left in any of the cache tables.

the reason that your menu items are not correct is because of the menu cache table.

you can try clearing cache in administer -> performance. There should be a button at theh bottom of the screen.

Ultimately with your site in the root, I believe you can now comment out the $base_url as it may not be necessary. I don't use it.
