Changing my domain name - what to change in admin?

[julieoolie]

Hi, I feel a little stupid for doing this but when I originally installed my store, I had installed it under a domain name that I no longer want. I now have the domain name that I want. Both domains are pointing to the store. I can type in my new one to get there but as soon as I click a product it shows the old domain in the URL. I want to completely remove my old name. I'm not sure if it's as simple as turning it off so it no longer points to the store or are there a bunch of things that I need to change in Admin? I remember typing in the domain name when I was doing the installation so I assume that there are so things I'll need to change. Please help!

You will have to change the includes/configuration.php and the admin/includes/configuration.php

This of course assumes that you have uploaded all your files and are using a database that is the same as the old database and there are a lot of other factors.

Your best bet when it is an entire domain change is to install Zen on your new domain and then import your old database into the new one.

That's what I figured would happen I feel dumb for being so indecisive about domain names! hehe! Thank you for your help!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to ad this note to help Zenners like me.

When you go to change "includes/configure.php" file and the "admin/includes/configure.php" file be sure to click on properties and check to see that the "read only" box is not checked.

Other wise you are out of luck brothers and sisters!

Best of luck!
