Importing C5 site into new domain

Permalink
I have a C5 site installed at public_html/pinkgeraniumbarrington. We've just obtained the domain pinkgbarrington and want to move our existing C5 site to the new domain at public_html/pinkgbarrington and then delete the old domain.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how best to accomplish this.

Thanks

Iain

Simple.

Transfer your files and edit your config/site.php file's base url.

You don't say if your site has been live at another domain. If it has you might want to consider redirecting pages from old domain to new, otherwise search engines won't know the score and links will get broken.

You also may not need to physically move any files, many host admin control panels allow you to create aliases of sites. Put another way you can point more than one domain at the same file system on the server.

You would need to amend site.php as mentioned above.

Hello,

I have a similiar problem so i wont create a new thread. Tried to read through the forums but nothing seems to help me.

I have a site at http://www.idylla.nstrefa.pl/idylla...
and c5 5.3.3.1 is installed in a public_html/idylla/ folder. After i made the site open to public i bought an addon domain in a different company than the server and set it up via dns servers.http://idylladomgroup.eu it seems to work but all the links on my site are pointing to the idylla.nstrefa.pl server instead of the domain name which makes my site kinda messy and invisible for google webmaster tools(e.g. all the META parameters are invisible and sitemap.xml doesnt work).

Whenever i change my site.php i get the error

"Internal Server Error. The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@idyllans.idylla.nstrefa.pl and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

my site.php:
<?php
define('DB_SERVER', 'sql.netmark.pl');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'idyllans');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'idylladom1');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'idyllans_dom');
define('BASE_URL', 'http://idylla.nstrefa.pl');
define('DIR_REL', '/idylla');
define('PASSWORD_SALT', 'I2uO49GtEC3lZBnYPvofDswAkicjX68rH1QVMUzbSyWgNKR5aTq7xJmepLh0F');
?>

Cant identify the problem for a few days now... Please help.

NVM. I did it.

Installed everything from the beggining in the appropriate public_html/idylladomgroup.eu folder, and did everything from this link http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/installation/moving-concr...
