Installation URL rename

[Howard]

Hello!

I started WHCMS a couple of years back. I'm considering changing the URL where my WHCMS is installed on my website or renaming it.  Does this mean I need to re-install whcms? Reading some of the previous posts, I'm guessing I downloaded my database and then I can import that into my new directory.  

Or do you suggest another approach? 

Thank you

Hi Howard, 
 if you change the complete WHMCS path then you do not need to change anything. but if you rename the admin folder name then you need to add a variable in your configuration file that is 

$customadminpath = 'Your New admin folder name';

and if you Change the domain of your hosting then you need to update new details in the general configuration of WHMCS by login your admin panel
Setup-> System Settings -> General Setting

if your scenario is different then please explain your scenario for a better solution.

You can export/import database, but this would not preserve any customizations made in your WHMCS files and any third-party modules would require reinstallation. 

There are probably some cases, where the above is acceptable, but it's important to acknowledge in case you were relying on any custom modules or code.

If you change the complete WHMCS path, no additional changes are needed. However, if you rename the admin folder, you must add the following variable to your configuration file:

$customadminpath = 'Your New Admin Folder Name';

If you change your hosting domain, you’ll need to update the new details in the General Configuration of WHMCS by logging into your admin panel and navigating to:

Setup -> System Settings -> General Settings.

If your situation is different, please explain for more specific assistance.
