How to move the blog

Miserupia · Post by **Miserupia** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 9:05 pm

Simply put I have the blog at www.somesite.com/myblog and I want to move it directly to www.somesite.com

Im a noob at php, mysql and others but if someone would be nice enough to give some detailed instruction I think I could manage to do it.

Thanx a bunch.

(P.S. - Serendipity is the best blog system Ive seen till now).

Hi,

I am new to this blog, but I did see something in the FAQ that could help.

For me, i keep my blog in /blog, but then in .htaccess i have:
redirect /index.htm http://iamgeek.net/blog/index.php

I don't know if that is the best way, but essentially, when someone comes to my site, they get redirected to the right directory.

I know about the redirection .. I dont want to do that.
I want to know what do I have to edit in the db and stuff

(I know you have to edit some stuff when you move a phpbb forum)

I found a step by step guide in the FAQ. I even tried it and it worked fine.
