I would like to change vanilla forum folder name

yamato1003

I would like to change vanilla forum folder name like from "myweb.com/xxx" to "myweb.com/yyy". I created yyy folder and copied and moved all files from xxx to yyy. It looked good at this point. But once I deleted xxx folder, yyy shows error. Error message was something about bootstrap.php line 47

// Cache Layer
Gdn::FactoryInstall(Gdn::AliasCache, 'Gdn_Cache', NULL, Gdn::FactoryRealSingleton, 'Initialize');

But I don't know what this means.

Can anyone help me ??

No. i didn't. but I just did. And it's all working good now !! I spent 2 days with provider customer support and they couldn't figured it out. I should have come here first. Thanks a lot, hbf.

also not a great idea to remove entire contents of cache directory - you want the folder structure.

just delete the ini files.

e.g. if you remove cache/Smarty/compile - you will add to your problems as evidenced here...

1. Move your forum to new folder
2. Remove all file and folder in "cache" folder of forum.
3. Run new-link of you forum.
