Once you've changed your licensed domain in your account, if your website was already installed before, you need to change some files on the server in order for your website to use the new domain name.
- Either log into cpanel Cpanel or use an FTP program to connect to the server.

Changing the .htaccess if Using Short Urls
If you had short urls enabled, or if you had the .htaccess for some other reason, you'll need to change it in order to point to your new domain.
- Using Cpanel or FTP find the .htaccess file in your foot folder where the phpFox files are installed. You will need to select to See Hidden Files or View Hidden Files as this file is a hidden file on the server. Make a copy of this file in case you need it.
- Open the original file in a text editor and find the following line around line 4
| Code Block |
|---|
RewriteBase /yoursubfoldername/ |
- Change that line so it points to your new subfolder or if not using one, just remove the subfoldername/ so it would then look like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
RewriteBase / |
- Double check the file for any other site urls you might have placed in it if you added anything to it and then save the file to your server and clear cache.
