best practice: how to move my site folder?
How Do I?
Hey guys.
So I put the EE3 folder in my domain root. so its www.domain.com/EE3/index.php…..
This is before I realized that the index file in EE3 is my main page….
What’s the best way to move my site to www.domain.com? I don’t want to mess up any of the references in EE or the database or anything.
Obviously, I’m fairly new to this whole web development thing. I’ve been at it a month or so.
Thanks,
-Mo
PS and is there a way to turn off the website while I’m working on it so it shows a “coming soon” page or whatever?
It should be sufficient to simply move all your files up a level (..) and change the paths in the control panel accordingly. Really not a big deal.
Ok that was pretty straightforward, thanks. Just fixing my links now.
I have one issue though, in the CP i can’t seem to change my admin.php link from what it initially was.
Like, I type the new URL where it’s located and press save and it says “success” but it doesn’t actually change.
Have you read over this documentation yet?
