How to handle site change from IP address to URL?

I am setting up a replacement for an existing site I have using XOOPS but with a new provider. I don't want to take the current site down until I'm ready to switch over so when I installed XOOPS I did so using the IP address that the new host gave me.

When I'm ready to switch the URL over to point to the new version of the site can anyone tell me the changes I need to make in the XOOPS parameters so that the address of the page shows the URL? From the digging I've done it looks as though the only change is the XOOPS_URL definition in mainfile.php. Is that true?

Thanks in advance!

you may have to modify your sql database or reinstall some modules. When we changed our site, the linking broke in a few of the modules we were using until I reinstalled them or found the value in php myadmin where it had taken the IP in order to append it to some of the directories specified in the cofig. Its an error by some module developers, but its not too horrible a thing to fix. (so if you develop a module use the right variables!!)
