moving the boards

[jerm]

I currently run my boards in the root directory. meaning www.address.com goes directly to my boards. In a few weeks, im planing on making a home page etc and moving the boards to www.address.com/boards . now i wanted to know what is the easist way to move.
to install a whole new forum, and copy/paste the database into the new boards.. do i copy the whole boards, over? etc..
any ideas on what is the easist way for me to do this?

if your keeping it on the same server just upload the SMF forum software to the new location (/board) and then use repair_settings.php to correct the paths.

no need to move the database.

thanks, it worked out pretty good. realized i had to reinstall my mods
but just one last question
i noticed that i had to change my paths for the themes and the smilies.. is there any other paths that i need to change?

The repair_settings.php utility should list most of them.  What is repair_settings.php?
