how to change domain name for joomla website |
|
Joomla 1.0.x is configured to work based on the domain name it is accessed through. That is why if you change the primary domain name of the web hosting account where your Joomla is located you will have to make some reconfigurations in the Joomla itself in order to make it work with the new domain. To make the needed reconfiguration please follow the instructions below
For joomla 1.0.x
Locate the following line in the file:$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://www.domain.com';
Change the domain name in this line to the new one;
Save the edited configuration.php file.
For joomla 1.5
Previous Joomla versions required a manual re-configuration when changing the domain name of your site. Joomla 1.5 does NOT require such a change and it adapts to your domain name dynamically. |
