If you are updating the URL of your site there may be references to the old URL in the database that need to be updated. You can update these references by following these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Server > Maintenance mode and enable maintenance mode.
- Create a full backup of your database and data directory.
- Run the admin/cli/replace.php script (please see the warning below).
- Change your config.php.
- Purge all caches (php admin/cli/purge_caches.php).
- Optionally configure redirects in your web server for the old URL to the new URL (refer to your web server documentation).
- Test the site thoroughly as a Site Administrator.
- Disable maintenance mode.
