Ho do I change urls/ domain names

[amichan]

I got a free domain though my host and was thinking about changing the domain this script is on how do I go about doing that?

Well if all your doing is changing a domain name simply repoint that new domain to the same server the gallery is on. You can then sign into the gallery on the old url and clear your cookie domain to blank. Then in global options in admin change the domain name to the new one. Thats all you should need to do if your only changing a domain name not moving servers or directories.

Yep same server and every thing, just need domain.
I already set the new domain up in cpanel.
Its http://otakugalleries.com

Cool is a relatively easy process as described above let me know how you make out.

Hello Chuck I am facing problem on changing domain
Actully I am runing gallery in subdomain and i point my main domain to my new server and there is no way to point it back again.
When I tried to import database to new server I face some problem which is only repair from admin center.
I had still kept copy of all files and database in old server. To repair the broken database I point my free domain to my gallery in old hosting and made change in config-inc.php and config-int.php.
Gallery index start to show up without problem but when I click on login the old site comes out. Is there any tool like repair or setting to fix it? If not where and should I have make change ?

How to Move Servers and/or Change Directories

I think will help you it is the most comprehensive thread on the subject.

yeah I went throughout that topic but the problem is I cant go inside admin center because when I click on login misc.php?action=login&login=yes comes in old url

[Chuck S]

Thats because you moved the gallery before doing any changes. You can only correct your situation by editing the settings table in your photopost database directly or running through an install.php script again on the new server so you can overwrite all the old settings. running install will not delete content that already exists.

Hello Chuck
Good day
Sorry to bother you again. I fixed all broken database and now gallery start to run fine in new server. I remember you had told me to create tmp file but I forgot where should I create it.

home//public_html/photo/tmp
or
home//public_html/photo/ cgi-bin/tmp

During upload process it shows some error massage but photo does uploads and it creates both thumbs and medium
Here I had attached the screenshot of error. Please advice me

ok it is jpegtran problem. I show you advice to leave it blank in setting to some other user.
By the way how you install jpegtran in server? Sorry but that server is just a magic box for me that never mail me saying you are giving over load

[Chuck S]

Your server has openbase directory set which means you can not use jpegtran or any of the server tools that exist outside your directory base which means you must keep those lines blank in admin global options and use gd2 as your image processor.

Thank you Chuck
