Hello!
I've already searched the forums and google to find the answers I need and I'm almost satisfied. The post's I've found is somewhat old, the oldest was posted in 2006.
This is what I want to do;
Install Drupal7 in the public folder of a site already containing Drupal6.
Develop a new site there, e.g. in 'www/drupal7'.
Uninstall/delete drupal6 and move drupal7 to 'www'.
The reason for doing it like this instead try to do an upgrade is that the company I'm doing this for want's to redesing there site in the process.
My questions are:
Will a new instllation in 'www/drupal7' in any way change anything on the server outside the 'drupal7' folder? (found one post saying that you can have multipel sites on one server, just need to get i verified)
Will any settings depend on drupal7 being installed in the 'drupal7' folder? (found a post saying that I needed to change path in 2 files, I looked in them and the pathes there wasn't used, I tried to move a local installation from 'www/drupal' to 'www' and it seemed to work whitout any changes, the problem with it is that site only contained a 'hello world' frontpage and not a real site)
One post said that I should use a subdomain instead of a subolder for security reasons and to make moving the site easier. Another post suggested changing 'htacces' to restrict access.
Any thoughts on that?
