New postnuke site

I have a new PostNuke site that has been under development in a /new/
subdirectory of my htdocs, so that I access the site with
www.domain.tld/new/ which gives me the nuke home page. I am just about
ready to take this to production, and I would like to move everything up
a directory so that the nuke is the main home page, i.e.
www.domain.tld. What would be the best way to do this? Would the mv
command be the best, and if so any tips on options to make it go
smooth? If I mv everything, would it have to update every file in the
whole tree structure, or only the first level of files and directories
within the /new/ directory?
Is there some other cool command that I'm not aware of that will
accomplish the same thing? What about using symlinks? I would have to
symlink everything in the /new/ directory, wouldn't I? Would that give
me more flexibility for future updates?
Also, any thoughts from you PostNukers out there about what
configuration parameters to be aware of? I've tried to be careful to
make everything use relative links, and thus not specify the /new/
directory, but I suppose that there could still be some broken links.
Is this going to mess up any of the modules? I know that the gallery
module will need to be reconfigured to work correctly. Are there others
that you are aware of? I've already gone through changing the directory
from /nuke/ to /new/ and most everything except the gallery worked well.
Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions.
Peace,
Jim
