Upgrading phpwcms but moving directories

I've been asked by a friend to help them upgrade their phpwcms v1 install (I know, I know, but that's what his webhost's fantastico offers him.) Doing a straight upgrade seems fairly simple but he wants to move his installation from foobar.com/ (i.e. the top level directory) to foobar.com/newdirectory.
Is it really as simple as installing 1.3.3 into /newdirectory and then attaching the database original SQL database through config.inc.php and then following the database updates as detailed in Step 4 onwards here (
http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/upgrade_RC11 ... _13x.phtml) or is it going to be more complicated than that?

it's that easy like:
edit your
/config/phpwcms/conf.inc.php
Code: Select all
// site values
$phpwcms['site'] = 'http://www.foobar.com/';
// paths
$phpwcms['DOC_ROOT'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];// real DOC_ROOT seems to be: /www/htdocs/something/root_public/...
$phpwcms['root'] = 'newdirectory'; //default: ''
or

[vice versa == > not --> up --> but --> down --> one level]
and don't forget to --> move ALL files/folders --> to 'newdirectory'

Because he's currently still on a 1.1 install of the system I'll still need to do the step by step update of the SQL databases, correct?

Thank you everyone for your help so far. Unfortunately I'm having a bit of trouble. I've copied over all the files, updated the files that needed updating etc but when I try to run index.php to start upgrading the MySQL I'm getting the following error message:
Code: Select all
Warning: require(/home/DOMAIN/public_html/SUBDOMAIN/include/inc_ext/Openads/Openads_function.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/DOMAIN/public_html/SUBDOMAIN/V3/include/inc_lib/default.inc.php on line 66
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/DOMAIN/public_html/SUBDOMAIN/include/inc_ext/Openads/Openads_function.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/DOMAIN/public_html/SUBDOMAIN/V3/include/inc_lib/default.inc.php on line 66
Now I can see where the problem is. The required is trying to open SUBDOMAIN/include but the actual file path is SUBDOMAIN/
V3/include
However, I don't know where I am supposed to change this. Can anyone help?
ETA: Sorted it. I'd forgotten to pop my subdirectory name onto the ROOT line of the config file.

Ran the set up, upgraded my database everything seems to be working fine.
However, when I go to log in it now doesn't recognise either my original login/password or the default username/password.

is the new conf.inc.php with all new features and (old) settings in its right place? Also have a look at dist.conf.inc.php
