Sometimes we have the need to move our site from one place to another, may it be from one server to another or just moving it to a different sub folder on the current server, here is a quick quide on how to do this.
* Copy over your files, either via ftp or SSH/command line
* Backup and then restore your database - perhaps using phpmyadmin or SSH/command line
(this step only needed if moving site from one server to another.)
* Edit your configuration.php file to reflect the new values. Specifically the following:

$mosConfig_user = 'joomla_joomla';
$mosConfig_password = 'password';
$mosConfig_db = 'joomla_joomla';
$mosConfig_absolute_path = '/home/joomla/public_html';
$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://www.joomlaxtreme.com';
$mosConfig_cachepath = '/your absolute path/cache';
Note: You may also need to ensure you have configured your .htaccess file in the new location.
Of course with the release of Joomla! it will no longer be $mosConfig_ but $josConfig
