Move to different directory
I have the mail program installed and running under a directory on my server. I would like to move the program to another directory. for example:
FROM...
http://www.www-wholesale.com/members/mail/users/

TO...
http://www.www-wholesale.com/mail/users/

I am not really sure how to do this. If I just ftp all the files, I fear there are permission issues? What is the best way to do this.

Also, I am running Version: 2.0.0-Upgrade. I think there is a newer version. Should I upgrade at the same time?Crazy

Thanks,

Eddie

Hi,

It's not trivial to change the location once it's installed. From shell you would need to:

Code:
cp -r /orig/data /new/data
cp -r /orig/admin /new/admin
cp -r /orig/batch /new/batch
cp -r /orig/user /new/user
perl -p -i.bak -e 's[/somewhere/][/somewhere/else/]' /new/admin/GMail/ConfigData.pm

first make sure you disable the site though, as depending on the volume, this may take a while.

Cheers,

Alex
