Switch from subdomain to directory url structure (5 posts)

    Hi there,

    I just found out that my host doesn't support wildcard dns and so I can't use the subdomain structure for adding new blogs. Is it possible to switch to directory instead of subdomain without doing a full reinstall?

    yes, you have to edit the config file and then you'd need to go through the database and change a few things.

    However if you've not really done much and don't have many blog entries then export the entries and do a re-install in subdirectory mode - its probably easier.

    Mind explaining the "change a few things" part?

    Like every single reference to the dub-blog's old address needs to be changed to the new one. If you have a small number, no biggie. Just grunt work.
