I have developed my site under the "thekudzufactor.com/Joomla_RT_Elemental" domain name. I would like to change the domain to just http://www.thekudzufactor.com.I would like to know how to do this right. I tried what GoDaddy told me to do which blew up the site. I tried the ms config live site change and that also did not result in a successful domain name change.
I looked in numerous sources for a straight answer that will work in my configuration and still have not been able to successfully do this.
I appreciate all the support and help.

- The easiest way would be to simply place a redirect php file in the root of your site.

James! provided a very simple method in a different post. Try this one, should work very well.

- Can you not just change your configuration.php file to reflect the new path?

- Do you have any other live sites using joomla on the same server? - If so look at their config and copy the path you will need to do it in a couple of places. Just to check you did not miss anything else last time.
