Rename the Hesk folder

Post by crina64 »

Hi,

I have already installed Hesk on a xampp server in the folder that I simply called Hesk and everything works perfectly. Now I would like to change the name of the folder and give it a different name...for example Hesknew.
How can I do it?
Thanks for the help

Try this (BACKUP files first):

1. download hesk_settings.inc.php from your server
2. open it in a powerful text editor such as Notepad++ (do not use Microsoft notepad)
3. inside the file find line starting with

Code: Select all

$hesk_settings['hesk_url']
and change the value after = to the new Hesk URL address. Do NOT add a trailing / after the folder name. Example:

Code: Select all

$hesk_settings['hesk_url']='http://localhost/newhesk';
4. save changes
5. upload the modified hesk_settings.inc.php to your server
6. rename the Hesk folder
7. test
