Migration Questions

Hello,

 I think I am pretty close to wrapping this up, but have a few closing questions that I would greatly appreciate answers to. Let me start off by giving a brief history of my installation..I have a VPS server with a Dolphin 6 installation. What I am doing is upgrading the software to Dolphin 7. So what I did was this, created a new installation in a subfolder in /public_html and created a new database. Now I installed the script and made all of my customizations. I think I am almost ready to now make it live! Before I do though I'd like to know the answers to these questions beforehand if possible. I am by no means an expert, so sometimes I have to seek them out...So here we go...

Q1:)  To prevent from being dropped in Google, in the migration instructions it tells me to add information to my .htaccess file :  instructions found here: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/6.1.6to7.0 .....So if I am correct I add the .htaccess text in the post to the end of my current .htaccess and make the path for this setting..".RewriteBase /path-to-your-dolphin-url-folder/ " would translate to what exactly? Would I make it look like this " RewriteBase / "
or would it be " RewriteBase /public_html/.

Q2:) When I installed this new installation into the subfolder, the installation could not detect ANY of the "/usr/lib/" paths, it did show the paths that looked correct but still gave an erorr red text stating paths could not be found.  I assumed it was maybe because I was installing into a subdirectory. When installing it did show it could not find the 4 paths but allowed me to continue with the installation normally. So my question is, now that I am ready to make this live in my root directory can anyone tell me where I can edit the configuration for these paths or should the default path work fine once in my root directory? And if you have a minute maybe explain what these paths are doing for my site on installation.

I greatly appreciate all of your time and apologize for the longwinded explanations/questions!

Happy New Year!

1. If your live site is in a subdirectory of your web directory (e.g., /public_html/), you may need to add this to the RewriteBase. You don't include the actual web directory itself, but those under it. If it's in the root directory of your web directory, then you don't need to do this, and can leave the RewriteBase as "/". If it's in a subdirectory, then you'll need to add this. If your new site is located under /foo/, you should add "/foo/" to your RewriteBase.
2. You should be able to change these paths in your /inc/header.inc.php file.

I hope this made sense to you.

I understand! Thank you again and again and again! Have a great new year!
