How to move Magento 2 root URL to another domain
To move Magento 2 root URL to another domain, you have to perform a procedure that is similar to one available in Magento 1.x. Note that Magento 2 has the similar to Magento 1 stores shop root URL available in the core_config_data database table. Furthermore, record paths are the same: web/unsecure/base_url and web/secure/base_url. Consequently, you it is possible to change root URL by SQL query:
|
1 2 3 |
UPDATE core_config_data SET value = 'http://example.ru/' WHERE path IN ('web/secure/base_url', 'web/unsecure/base_url'); |
It is enough for Magento 1, but Magento 2 stores root URL in the third path: design/head/includes
As a result, the record looks as follows:
|
1 |
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<root URL>/pub/media/styles.css" /> |
Therefore, there is a necessity to utilaze an additional SQL query:
|
1 2 3 |
UPDATE core_config_data SET value = REPLACE(value, '<old root URL or domain>', '<new root URL or domain>') WHERE path = 'design/head/includes'; |
Check the following example:
|
1 2 3 |
UPDATE core_config_data SET value = REPLACE(value, 'http://old.com/', 'http://new.com/') WHERE path = 'design/head/includes'; |
