I am currently developing a joomla 1.5 based site in a temp subdomain (which points to a subfolder on ther sever where all joomla stuff is installed). Currently I am using plugins joomgallery an kunene 1.0.9 (legacy mode). Once the development is done I would like to move the whole site into the root directory and delete the whole subdomain. How would this ideally be done? Can I just move the files or is there more to it? Any common pitfalls to watch out for? E.g. Are there absolute paths referenced somehwere?

  1. In your configuration.php file, the base path might be defined, something like this:

    var $live_site = 'http://temp.mysite.com/';

    …though I think by default now, it automatically detects this value for you.

    Check in the configuration of your custom components to see if they have got the paths ‘hardcoded’ in there too.

    Another thing you could do is set up a .htaccess file with some RewriteRules so that any call to http://temp.mysite.com gets redirected to http://www.mysite.com
