Hi, I created www.destinatii.tv some time ago. Now I would like to leave it as it is, upgrade and reconfigure the appearance using Drupal 7.18 (I can use a Softaculous installer provided by the webhosting company) and only afterwards make it public, replacing the old website.
Normally, Drupal recommends to install a test environment on a local computer, work locally, and publish the new content on the web server only afterwards. This does not work for me. I need to work on the server directly for a number of reasons.
My question: What happens when I move the Drupal installed with softaculous from the /test folder to the root of my account on the server? Wil Softaculous be able to update in the future my Drupal install correctly (since it would have moved from the original install location on level up)?

Hi,

When you move an installation from a directory /test to the root you will have to change the URLs or paths configured in the database or files (if any) and if you have successfully upgraded manually you can then go to Softaculous Enduser panel and then click on blue upgrade icon, this will take you to the upgrade page where Softaculous checks the actual version of the installation and if it does not match the version in Softaculous data then it will display a notice stating that the versions do not match. You can simply click on that notice and then Softaculous records will be updated.
Here is the guide for the same :
