well, i havent dealt with phpnuke before, but i would say the easiest way would be to go into the administration of PHPNuke and change the URL for the site to change it to the NEW directory that it will be in, then you simply change the name of "nuke" to the NEW directory name, and it should work that way....

well if PHPnuke is smart enough like other things online (forums, poll etc) if you go into the administration panel and change the URL to the NEW directory, it should automaticy tell the rest of the system to grab all of the images for the skin from the new directory instead of from the old one... same with the links, it should automaticly change itself to make it point towards the new directory unless you had to type in the links by hand, then you need to go and change those by hand.
but if you change the name from 'nuke' to 'whatever' before you change the URL it will be more difficult to change the URL you would either have to go into the config file and change it by hand, or into PHPMy Admin and change it by searching through the logs.. if you want to wait for someone more knowledgable and who might tell you "Yeah do ____" then go ahead  lol*edit* i just installed phpnuke onto my site.... i logged into the administration panel, and went to prefrences (spelling) and edited my url from http://hogwartsmagic.net/nuke to http://hogwartsmagic.net/change i went into my file manager and changed the name of the directory to change and then went to the new names directory and was fully available to navigate the PHP Nuke system... so id say that works.... but now the only problem is, if you posted a link somewhere on PHPNuke on your own... like for say you added a link to the download page on the index page.... then you would need to go in and change that by yourself... because since the system didn't put that in, it is somthing the system will not change... catch my drift? if no just say and ill explain more, if it can be explained more >_< This post has been edited by Albus Dumbledore: Aug 30 2006, 05:09 AM |

With Nuke you dont have to specify a directory, you can install it directly onto your domain. Just leave the directory section blank when you install it.
I appreciate that doesnt help with your current problem tho. If I was you I'd do a quick sql backup, backup all your nuke files, uninstall your nuke, install it again on your domain & just overwrite the nuke files in public_html with the ones you backed up. Do the same with your sql tables & the only difference to your site you will notice will be the new url  |

well thats really the only way to do it.... for what you are wanting to do..
lol just go into the Cpanel back-up tool and download the PhpNUKE MySql database and put it on your computer, then delete the current PHPNuke You have on there now, then re-install it onto the main directory instead of /nuke but i think you would still have to change the URL in the prefrences before you make the back-up and un-install it.... |
