Don't create the folder or move them yourself
File Export the DB files to your desktop or a folder on your PC
Then File Import them back into the FP web
- FP will ask if you want them in the fpdb folder (yes) and to provide names for them, plus create a new or updated global .asa file
(it will set the permissions on the fpdb folder)
- check your DB connection strings after doing so
