XF 1.3 Moving the directory

[winter4w]

So I have my website set to www.forum.animal-craft.net and on my public_html it has a folder called forum. I will like to move all my files from there to the public_html folder. Is there anything I need to do special or do I just move the files over?

How can I move my installation to a different directory?
Update the Board URL in the ACP -> Options -> Basic Board Information and move the files to the new directory (or rename the directory). You may need to restart the server for the change to take effect.
Note that redirection will be required to ensure any existing links continue to work.
For example, if the installation is moved from the /community directory to the root, the following line needs to be added to the .htaccess file, after the default XenForo rewrite rules:

[RewriteRule ^community/(.*)?$ /$1 [R=301,L]
