I need to move my entire drupal install from http://0.0.0.0/drupal6-9 to http://0.0.0.0 besides backing up the entire htdocs directory and imaging the server has anyone done this with their installation and issue did you have?

Also, I have FCKEditor and ImageMagick installed on Drupal 6.9 and Suse Linux Enterprise v10. For some reason I cannot see any of the images I upload? Does anyone know if moving the site from a sub to root will fix this issue?

Please help.

Normally drupal is very easy to move. Simply move it and clear your cache tables. Though this is dependent on whether or not you've used realtive (correct) or absolute urls within your content.

manually in the database by selecting the cache tables and emptying them or go to administer -> performance and use the clear cache button

I moved the entire contents of the folder and it work fine. Make sure you clear the cache though and if you have FCKeditor may run into some issues.

Issue has been resolved.

I have copied all files from the sub-directory to he www root directory on my server. When I try to log in (as admin) I get a URL not found message from the server. How can I log in so I can clear the cache files?

thanks

clear the cache in the UI before you move the site otherwise, you do so manually in the DB by truncated the cache_ tables < note the plural there is more than one.
