I have v1.05 installed in /public_html/forum/

Can I install v1.1 in public_html/new domain name/smf/  and run the installer to set up. Thing is I want to use the existing MySQL db.  name_smf.

Or do I have to move all the existing files and edit the (.php) files to show the correct paths? If so which files would I have to edit.

I DO NOT have SSH or Putty and really don't have the time to install and figure out PGP.

This is all from my desire to change the domain name but not the server or my account. So the new domain points to a dir off of public_html.

Does any of this make any sense? I have searched the forum but was not able to find a answer to this question(s).

All input will be greatly appreciated.....gmorin

Just upload the update package and run that. After it's all done, move all the files with FTP and then run repair_settings.php
Everything will be fixed except for links in actual posts, but theres no simple way to fix those anyway.
