How do you move a forum from one folder to another?

LeftBrain

This seems easy enough but it didn't work.

I have a forum set up with minimal content at the following web address. http://chemistscorner.com/members/forum

I want to move it to this web address. http://chemistscorner.com/forum

Tried just moving the folder and that didn't work as it gave a 'file not found' error.
How can I do this?

thanks

Same problem here. Moved my entire site from
/www/site1.1/forum/ to /www/site/forum
and I get "Failed opening required '/*****/forum/applications/controllers/class.controller.php"

I checked the dispatcher class and it seems that
$ControllerPath = Gdn_FileSystem::FindByMapping('controller', PATH_APPLICATIONS, $ControllerWhiteList, $ControllerFileName);
returns a path corresponding to the old folder.

Solved it:

When moving you Vanilla installation from one folder to another, make sure to go into your cache folder (ex: /forum/cache) and delete all the files inside (not the containing folders or folder structure, just the files in them!).

Hope this helps.
