How Do I Move My Oxwall Installation Between Domains? | Forum

I have a general idea on how to do this, but I'd just like confirmation on if I'm right or not. And as an added note, I am not moving servers, just domains, so I shouldn't need to mess with the database, right?

My idea is that I put the site into maintenance mode, move all the files from the current domain to the new one via FTP, and then update the settings to adjust to the new domain and take the site out of maintenance mode.

Does this sound right, or is there a better way to go about this?

Okay I finally got around to this and it seems to have only half worked. I can see most pages on the site, but most of the images seem to be broken (because they still point to the old domain) and some pages don't work either (gives a 404).
