pls help move existing Zen-Cart to new domain

I have a working Zen-Cart store, all set up, nearly ready to launch. :yes:

I need to create a new domain name, so I want to move the existing Zen-Cart store into a different directory (on the same server) which is accessed by the new domain name. :blink:

Is there anything I need to know before I proceed with this move? :huh:

Thanks in advance for any help. :D

I stink, therefore I am.

create a new DB, and copy the contents

move copy of the store into new folder,
make domain name and file path changes in the /includes/configure.php and the admin/includes/configure.php

voila all done

but before you begin BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP
