HI!

I am going to switch my primary domain at my webhost, however, they have this warning before you do it.

"WARNING: If you have us change your domain name all of your add-on domains will no longer work. You will need to delete them and remake them yourself after we do this."

I have a XOOPS site on one of my subdomains that I still whant to be a subdomain, but to a different primary domain. I have talked to hostgator and they say that the info will remain on the server, but I will need to edit the scripts to get it to work. I do not get any info on whant to edit, and they suggested that I should ask here.
can someone please help me in what I should be expecting to edit, what to write, etc... I have spent alot of time with that XOOPS site and would rather not do a reinstallation.

Host: hostgator, shared server.
xoops: 2.0.14

Regards
Martin

You will need to edit mainfile.php in XOOPS rootdirectory to adapt it to the new domain name and/or path if that changes.
Sorry, this signature is experiencing technical difficulties. We will return you to the sheduled signature as soon as possible ...

thank you for your quick answer Bender. Just a few more questions.

1. What shall I change in the mainfile.php? And what shall I write when making the changes?

2. Is that the onley thing I need to change, there is nothing else I need to edit?

ps: I will keep that in mind in the future.
