Changing Document Root to new directory with

[RandyN]

I created a static site, then decided I wanted it in Wordpress. The site was live when I made this decision, so I installed Wordpress into a directory in /httpdocs/ to set it up before launching.

Now, under that site's settings, I can't update the "Document Root" through PLESK because I am met with this warning:

It is impossible to change document root because there are web applications installed on this website.

So... do I need to migrate Wordpress to that directory? Do a 301 redirect in /httpdocs/? Is there a way to configure this and why is it preventing me from changing it to a sub-directory?

Thanks

bump. I'm wondering this as well

Agreed. Double bump. Wordpress offers the ability to store it in a subdirectory of the root, and still keep it functioning, but that's not what I want. I want WP as the root directory, or the ability to change my root directory to a sub-directory with WP running.
