Posted November 18, 20177 yr I want to change the basic URL of my site from "domain. com" to "www.domain.com". I know I have to update the base_url variable in conf_global. php and update the licenced url in the client area, then run the support tool to rebuild the datastore file. But... 1. Is it necessary to respect a delay between the modification of the licenced url in the client area and the update of conf_global. php 2. in what order should the changes be made so that there is no service interruption? 3. How long will the rebuild of the datastore file take for a site with 40.000 members and 1,500,000 posts in forums ? Thank you for your help Edited November 18, 20177 yr by Jean-Philippe
November 18, 20177 yr 1. You don't have to wait for the license URL to be updated at all....do that AFTER you've done the conf_global.php and cleared the server cache (what you call 'rebuild the datastore') 2. A few seconds - it's nothing to do with number of members and number of posts.
November 18, 20177 yr The datastore is instant, and there isn't any delay, once you edit the conf_global.php file, and clear the cache, you are all set on the site.
November 19, 20177 yr Author OK ... I have updated the value of base-url in conf_global.php ("domain.com replaced by "www.domain.com"). But I have this error when trying to update the licenced URL : There seems to still be a installation of Invision Community at the URL on file. Before you can change the URL, you must first remove the existing installation. Error code: R02 Of course, an installation is at the actual url, because the actual url is "domain.com", which is an alias to www.domain.com on our server My new question is : is it necessary to update the licenced url when the old url is domain.com and the new url is www.domain.com ? Thank you for your help
