This How-To is similar to "Moving a site"

In this how-to the site is located in http://site.com/concrete5 and we want it in http://site.com.

1. Disable pretty urls if you have them enabled.

2. Disable and clear the cache.

(NOTE: In concrete5 version 5.5+ you will not see the 2 lines below, you can skip step 4)

3. open /<subdir>/config/site.php, and find these 2 lines:

define('BASE_URL', 'http://site.com');
define('DIR_REL', '/concrete5');

We will change the DIR_REL line like so:

define('DIR_REL', '');

4. Now we will move the site, you can either move the contents of the /concrete5 folder up a directory, or if you have ssh you can use *nix commands (mv)

5. After all the files are moved you can visit your site at http://site.com, now you can login, enable pretty urls, enable the cache, and re-run the maintenance jobs.
