Rename folder after upgrade

Post by dankell »

We've just upgraded out Mantis install, and as this our first upgrade we've run into a problem.

The old version was installed in the folder mantisbt
The new version (2.5.1) was installed in the folder mantisbt-new

The upgrade process on 2.5.1 seems to have all gone properly and I can access the server on http://mydomain/mantisbt-new/login_page.php

However all my bookmarks, and my users' bookmarks are pointing at http://mydomain/mantisbt/login_page.php, which is in maintenance mode.

I had assumed that I should just rename the mantis* folders so that mantisbt-new becomes mantisbt, but Windows is refusing to let me rename as the files are in use

What am I missing?
(PHP is *not* our core competency...)

Stop your web server, rename the folder, start your web server.
