Hello
I don't have much technical knowledge, but am running a MW site via ControlPanel and Softaculous. I want to change the domain name for my wiki - what changes do I need to make the MW installation?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks very much for your response, Tamimih. :-)
However, I've found that, after changing the domain name via my web host control panel, it seems that you simply need to change mentions of the old web domain in LocalSettings.php to the new one.
