Change Domain in Magento

If you need to update the domain name of your Magento installation, just follow these steps:

1. Login to cPanel.
2. Click the phpMyAdmin icon.
3. Select your Magento database
4. Click the link for the core_config_data table.
5. Look for the "path" fields named web/unsecure/base_url and web/secure/base_url. (Currently, the "config_id" is 2 and 3.)
6. Change each "value" to your new domain.
7. You may need to empty your /var/cache/ folder before it works.
