Moving From one Domain to the other in the same webhost

I am getting a new domain thats going to be separate from my current one but I want to move my Joomla site from my current domain to my new one. It's under the same server or web host account. How do I do this? Do I just move my site over to where my new domain location will be? Do I have to do anything with the database and config.php folder? My current site I have is home/public_html/joomla and the new domain will probably not be in the public_html folder so it would be home/domain name/joomla. Thanks for the help.

You could transfer your site developed in Joomla! to another host/location by the following ways.

(i) Use the extension Akeeba Backup Core (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... ackup/1606) to backup your site including the database. You have to transfer the archive file created by Akeeba Backup Core to your remote host and use the kickstart.php script file (created by Akeeba Backup Core developers) to restore the site. Also, you would have a back-up permanently.

(ii) Use the manual process. Review the document http://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_copy_ ... te_host%3F for more information.

Note:
In both the cases, you have to create a new database on the remote host, create a user for the database, grant all privileges to the user for connecting to it.

Akeeba is my favourite method.

Thanks will have to try that.

Right now though I have it parked and when you log in to the site and admin panel it takes you to my old domain can I change that somewhere?

Ask your Host how to do that is the best

i think this is good answer.

Would I need to replace anchors/links embedded in the content, e.g.:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.myolddomain.com/mytarget.php">

Perhaps, in phpMyAdmin, with SQL:

Code: Select all

update `jos_content` set `introtext` = replace(`introtext`, '//www.myolddomain.com', '//www.mynewdomain.com');
update `jos_content` set `fulltext` = replace(`fulltext`, '//www.myolddomain.com', '//www.mynewdomain.com');

What other tables and fields should be fixed?
