Quick Mint tip: problems after moving your Mint installation
Posted: May 02, 2007
Here’s something I just discovered when moving my Mint installation from its old subdirectory location at http://partiallyblind.com/mint/ to its own subdomain of http://mint.partiallyblind.com.
After copying across all the relevant files, Mint stubbornly refused to acknowledge its new location; regardless of how many times I changed the Mint location field in the preferences or emptied Safari’s cache, it would default back to the new subdomain location but append /mint/ to the end of the url, which naturally wouldn’t work.
The answer was as simple as Mint is clever – Appending ?moved to the end of url forces Mint to reload its configuration after you’ve moved it to another location on your server.
You can see this and the rest of the useful Mint query commands over at haveamint.com.
