MediaWiki 1.29.1 PHP 5.6.31 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.6.36-82.1-log ICU 4.8.1.1

Hi - I have a pretty simple question. I would like to move the above wiki to a different domain (hosted by the same service provider.

I am not a technical user and am not great with MySQL or PHP. I installed it with Softaculous, so it didn't require any technical ability.

I don't understand the instructions at Manual:Moving_a_wiki as they assume familiarity with MySQL etc.

Is there an idiot's guide, or how would I find someone who could help me? ~~~~

Actually, I think all I need to do is change the url - in which case would it just be this? http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/mediawiki/getting-started-mediawiki/change-url

You will have to change $wgServer. After that you might see errors, because of old, cached values from a proxy, your browser or whatever. Make sure that all caches are cleared.

Then I would test, if that maybe already was everything to do at that point...

You would need to bump Manual:$wgCacheEpoch

Ideally you should keep your old domain doing a 301 redirect to the new URL during some time, so people that have the old URL (and more important, search engines) have time to migrate to the new URL
