Hello,

What must I do if I want to change the name (url) of my site ? Only change the url in settings page ?

This is an intranet.

Regards,
1) first step:
"Go to Setup → Website Base URL: Change http://olddomain/ (or whatever) to your new site URL. "

2)
Check if your site contains images with absolute URLs, if so you have to edit this
this is the same step as described here:
http://www.get-simple.info/wiki/installation:migrating

see here:
If you have links or images in your pages with complete URLs you should change them to your new URL or else the new site will possibly have broken links or images that cannot be not displayed. Using relative URLs is always advised. But the HTML-editor stores the URLs as absolute URLs. Please note: links to images etc. are stored in your data with absolute URLs, not relative URLs. So you will run into problems when you just copy your data files to the server.

What you can do:

make a backup of the “old” data-folder
load all the pages from /data and /data-subdirectories into a good editor, f.e. notepad++ (not Word!)
do a global search and replace, update by this the URLs of all objects which refer to http://www.olddomain.tld..
after that, upload these updated files to your server



3)
last step:
http://get-simple.info/wiki/installation...to_anotherr

check the htaccess and the gsconfig as described in the wiki
Step 3 is really needed ? I don't want to move my site, just rename it !
