How to change PS Directory?

The settings.ini.php file is probably not writeable which is why it isnt saving the changes.

You do realise that changing this will change where prestashop looks for the files to run your shop. If your files and folders are in the root directory and you change it too /eshopping/ it will look for the files in the new folder, if they aren't there your site wont work.

For resolving this problem, you should only login to your ftp, change the directory PS as the name you have changed, for example:

default is /shop/, you changed it to /hello/, then you just found it can't be changed back to /shop/ anymore. WTF ah?
Let do it as follow:
1, login the FTP and change the directory PS to hello
2, change your URL in your IE or Firefox from http://yourdomain.com/shop/adminxx to http://yourdomain.com/hello/adminx
3, then, change the directory PS back to /shop/
4, login the FTP again and change the directory PS to shop.

Done,
You are welcome at first ^^

I tried this:
login to ftp:> change the shop dir > OK
Trying to login to the BO and when i type in my username and pass, doesn`t let me in... so... I can`t change the shop directory in the BO.
any ideas?
