Move site from a sub folder to the root foler on a remote web server

Hi,

I installed KenticoCMS in a subfolder where we have another page on a web hosting company's server. The url to the kentico site is something like http://www.outsite.com/KenticoCMS/default.aspx

Now I want to remove the original site (plain HTML) and put the kentico site in the root folder, how do I do this?

Do I have to re-install KenticoCMS and point to the root folder this time and when it's installed import the site which I have exported before re-install?

Thanks in advance.

RE:Move site from a sub folder to the root foler on a remote web server

So it's was easier than I thought. I just moved the site using the web host's tool for copy files from one folder to another. I also had to change the links for the CSS in the masterpage, they were pointing to the full old URL with KenticoCMS in it.

Since I have some iframes with pages from another asp.net application in a sub folder I had to add an element to the web config so the other application doesn't inherit from the web.config in the root folder.

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
<system.web>

</system.web>
</location>
