I really did it this time.
I have a txp site and the domain has expired. It’s is now in some kind of parked lock down holding place and will take a while to get it renewed.
I’m going to set up a new domain in the meantime. What paths will I need to edit in the database to access the txp admin from the new domain. Will it be risky at all?
thanks in advance.
its a bad hen that wont scratch itself.

I think you just need to change the nameservers (DNS) of your new domain to point to your hosting. Which isn’t very risky.
it should be mentioned in the help of your registrar and hosting provider

Re: I really did it this time.
ok thats no problem then . I thought that the old domain or paths to it might be stored in some tables in the txp database.

Paths don’t change (you didn’t move anything I assume?), and you can change the site URL, once you’ve logged in, in admin > preferences.
If you don’t have any hardcoded internal URLs I don’t think there’s anything else you need to do.

Just set your domain in the preferences on the admin side to the new domain.

They are.
In your config.php file which resides in the textpattern folder are the paths, that will eventually need to be changed to point to your new database at your new host.

No. $txpcfg['txpath'] is deprecated, so you will not need to change it, if you aren’t using any old plugins which invalidly use it instead of txpath. Currently, from 4.0.7 onvards the txpath is autogenerated with PHP. Changing the path does nothing, it’s there just for old (and invalid) plugin compatiblity.
Only DB credentials require updating if changed. But that is not the case here.

Re: I really did it this time.
thanks for the replies,
I was wondering about the stuff that was brought up.
The site is only on 4.4 so I will have to update it.
Will try tonight and see how it goes.
