Can't install Packages: This one is a little different.

[ChaosAffect]

The posts, users, etc. are in the database. Nowhere else.

That MAY be where the rpoblem lies, thinking about it. If something in the database is pointing to the old URL, it could be why moving everything to the root made it croak.

Quite what, though, I can't imagine. A mod, maybe? PrettyURLs, perhaps? Something like that? SEO stuff?

The only mod that's currently installed, and the only one I could get to work, is a simple little thing that sticks a birthday cake next to a user on their Bday. Nothing else I tried would install.

Ok, so I just have to export the current DB, fresh install, then import it back? That'll do it?

If you're using the same database, on the same site, you can just leave it where it is, pointing the install to the database.
