Bring site in development to live on GoDaddy - Desperate for help :)

Our sites are hosted on godaddy. We're using MODX Revolution.
I have a site in development in a subdomain and don't know how to bring it live - nor can GoDaddy customer service help me out. The only posts I found related to this are 3 years old.

I've given the url sitename.com for the purposes of this post only - don't have permission to use actual site name.

Live site: www.sitename.com
Site in Development: development.sitename.com

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Moving from subfolder to root follows the same method as is detailed in the documentation for moving to a new server. Make sure to check all the config files shown (about half way down the page in the link from above).

Thank you!!!

Make sure to disable .htaccess first. Re-enable that only after all is working properly.

Post back here if you have troubles, and have fun! :~}

We'll be shooting for 9pm tonight UsA E.S.T.-- so if you hear someone screaming and police cars in action it's probably me exploding.
