How to move a concrete5 website from a subdirectory to the root directory of your webserver?

If you want to move your concrete5's website from one server (eg localhost) to another server, please see the official documentation:

Now, considering you just want to move your website from a subdirectory to the root directory (or the reverse), here is a small doc

For instance, you want to move your website from 
 https://YourwebSite/PreviousSubDirectory

to 

 https://YourwebSite/

  • First, upgrade your website if required
  • Log as an admin in your website:
 https://YourwebSite/PreviousSubDirectory/index.php/login
  • Clear the cache from the dashboard
  • Put your website in maintenance
  • If you don't have a recent one, MAKE A COMPLETE BACKUP (website + database)
  • Go to your system files (FTP or SSH)
  • Move ALL the files from the subdirectory to the root directory
  • fix the permissions by running this command
 chmod -R 777 packages application/config/ application/files/ application/languages

.htaccess

if you have any, edit your .htaccess file: 

replace
RewriteBase /PreviousSubDirectory/

with 

 RewriteBase /
https://YourwebSite/index.php/dashboard/system/permissions/maintenance

* Done!

Deadlinks

After that, you may check your website, mostly dead links with a tool like linkchecker; a dirty solution would be to make a rewriteRule redirecting your old /PreviousSubDirectory/ to the root directory
