How to modify the Magento associated domain

When we modify the site of our Magento installation, the website loads incorrectly.

This happens because, at the time we installed Magento, the current path was registered.

 

To modify the paths of our installation, we need to manage the Magento installation database as follows.

 

We access phpMyAdmin of our hosting account -> http://domain.com/phpMyAdmin (replace domain.com with your own domain).

 

We select the database of our installation. If you only have one database, it will already be automatically selected:

 

 

We enter the "core_config_data" table:

 

 

We edit the "value" field of the records corresponding to "web/unsecure/base_url" and "web/secure/base_url":

 

 

Delete the cache folder

In addition to making this modification in the database, we must delete the cache folder located in the Magento installation directory, inside the /var/ folder.

 

We can delete it by connecting via FTP and removing the directory.

 

With these changes, Magento will work correctly after the domain name change and we will be able to access its administration panel. We only need to verify that everything works properly from the Magento administration area.
