Moving Website Domain Name - Admin isn't working

I have a ZenCart setup say here:'

mysite.com

If I want to change it to:

yoursite.com

Whenever I try to go to yoursite.com/admin/

It won't work - why?

What's an ASP.NET Developer doing here...?

Make sure your admin/configure.php has the correct path to your admin - this is usually the cause for issues..

Thanks. is there anything else like that I should be aware of so it doesn't come back and bite me in the ########?
The company changed names, so I'm trying to make sure everything moves over smoothly.

The two configure.php files should be all you need do unless you have hard coded anything else..

So how do I configure these two files, I don't see anywhere with in the admin/configure that states my old domain to redirect to new domain!

That's not the same thing - you need to use .htaccess for that type of redirection from one name to another. Google it :wink:

You CHANGE the name in the configure files to the new one.
