Well, you just have to
- move all b2evolution files from /blog to /
- modify $baseurl in conf/_config.php (it should now look like "http://www.yoursite.com")

And you're done! no database backup or any other reconfiguration...

Of course your links in from search engines will be royally screwed...

I'm running 1.10.2 and I'm planning to upgrade to the latest 2.1.0. As part of this upgrade, I want to change my install path from mysite.com/blog to MySite.

Do the instructions above still apply? If not, can you give me an update?

yes madz is right except the config file.. the file you must modify is conf/_basic_config.php..

i may suggest you, copy all of your site.com/blog files and backup the database first! in case any problem occurs you may rollback to your old working blog by uploading the copied files and extracting the backed up sql..

after that ignore your directory problem totally.. just do the upgrade..

then move your site.com/blog directory into the root directory and make the necessary change in

site.com/conf/_basic_config.php

change the line 97

$baseurl = 'http://www.site.com/blog';

into

$baseurl = 'http://www.site.com/';

its pretty easy..

Excellent. I'll give this a try over the thanksgiving weekend. Thanks for the help.
