Stupid Wordpress Question - Changing Directory/Folder Name?

Hey guys,

I'm trying to change a directory/folder to a new name in Wordpress.

For instance,

I want to change www.sample.com/blog/ to www.sample.com/v2.0/

I looked up advice for this and apparently got some bad info.. because it didn't work. The top listing for this question read to do this: Go to SETTINGS - GENERAL - and change both the Wordpress address URL and the Site address URL to the new name (in this case v2.0)

Now I get a 404 file not found for the new address, and when pulling up the old /blog/ address the theme is gone, just a wordpress file not found page. Different from the above 404 page though.

I knew that sounded too simple to be true.. should have known I had to do something server side as well.

Any help?

Really appreciate it
