Migrating Drupal Site on same server

问题:

I have finished developing my new Drupal site to replace an old HTML static site.

I chose to install the Drupal site on Public HTML folder on the main domain here;

www.my-site.co.uk/development-site

I would now like to remove the old HTML static site and replace with this site.

Do I just delete all the HTML files from the old site, excluding /development-site file, then move all the contents of this file into the public HTML folder?

Also, with the database being on the same server, I am guessing I would not need to change anything on the settings.php file?

If you have developed your site correctly, you can move the development-site content to another location of your server without errors.

You should copy your old HTML site in other place. And then move your Drupal.

The settings.php no needs changes, assuming that your database is in the same folder (localhost configuration);

The only problem you can have is the situation of some static url in your site linking to the development-site folder. If you are sure there are no links like that in your Drupal. Let's move your site.
