Hey everyone!

 

I've got a subdomain on my website that houses my blog. At the time I set it up my Movable Type blog on this subdomain, I had no idea what to call my subdomain, so I set it up as blog.****. Now, I would like to rename the subdomain. Is this possible? If so, am I able to rename the subdomain without affecting the blog content? I know that I'll have to log into MT and change the following items...

 

(1) local site path = /home/cpanel-username/public_html/blog/

(2) site url = http://www.blog.put_your_domain.com

(3) local archive path = /home/cpanel-username/public_html/blog/archives

(4) archive url = http://www.blog.put_your_domain.com/archives

 

But what I'm not sure of is if I'll have to reinstall Movable Type to the new subdomain or if it will transfer to the new (or renamed) subdomain when I change the four items listed above.

 

I checked out cPanel, but I didn't see an option for renaming a subdomain. I only saw "Setup Redirection," "Remove Redirection," and "Delete."

 

Thanks.

;)

Create the new subdomain, change the stuff in MT and then rebuild it. You can then delete the old subdirectory and the blog directory.

 

Should be fine. Make sure that the rebuilds work and the subdomain is propogated before you go deleting anything. =)
