If you find that you need to change your domain for your license, please follow these steps. Please ensure you are only having one website per license, as the license terms state though, as changing the domain will disable authorization for the original domain and can cause your host to delete your site as it will show unlicensed.

To Change Your License in Your Account

• Log into your account
• On the rightOnce you are in your account, you will see a block and the top item in that block is an input box showing the current domain used for that license. You can type in that input box to put a different domain.

To Change Your Website Files to Use the New Domain

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.
• Find the PF.Base/file/settings/server.sett.php file and download a copy to keep as a backup. Then, on the original file, open it in a text editor. 
• From lines 33 - 35, you will see the following codes:

$_CONF['core.host'] = 'oldsite.com';
-
$_CONF['core.folder'] = '/oldsubfolder/';

...

• Once you've changed those, you need to save the file and then fully clear your site's cache.

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 root 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

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:

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.
