Tips: Move joomla to another domain name

by toy

I don’t know if it’s only me that I like to develop my Joomla and other components in localhost and deploy to the actual server when finished. There are some tips to do that all over Google, so I won’t be repeating it here.

Just a little tip, when you change your username and password of MySQL database, please don’t forget to change this variable as well.

var $live_site = 'http://www.youdomainname.com';

I know some tips would say that this is just an optional, but from my experience I had some issues with some components and some images didn’t show up. When I change this parameter to my actual domain name. It woks very well.

I hope this little tip would help somebody.
