Body: <p>I have a civi site working from a subdomain on my main VPS account. I want to move the account to its own cpanel account, allowing the client full access to the site. However, I'm concerned about path changes and whether I need to change anything beyond what's in civicrm.settings.php, Resource URLs and cache. Is changing the BaseURL, etc. in settings enough to manage all absolute path references?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, 
  Kate </p>

Title: Path changes with move to VPS

  I have a civi site working from a subdomain on my main VPS account. I want to move the account to its own cpanel account, allowing the client full access to the site. However, I'm concerned about path changes and whether I need to change anything beyond what's in civicrm.settings.php, Resource URLs and cache. Is changing the BaseURL, etc. in settings enough to manage all absolute path references?
  
  Thanks,

  At least a couple times a month, I copy our live site over to the dev version, which means different paths. I just make sure I:
  
  delete the templates\_c directory and let it recreate itself
  
  change the civicrm.settings.php file
  
  check the directories page in CiviCRM: administer > system settings > directories
  
  check the resource URLs page in CiviCRM: administer > system settings > resource URLs
  
  clear caches and update paths: administer > system settings > cleanup caches and update paths
  
  Running through all these steps always fixes any changes in my installation directory.
