Base Url Change Magento2.1

Question

I have changed Base url in Magento 2.1, but it does not works.

While installing I have set base url to www.domain1.net. I need to change it to www.domain2.net.

What I tried:

1. Update baseurl in core_config_data:

   UPDATE core_config_data
   SET value = 'http://www.domain2.net/' 
   WHERE path IN ('web/secure/base_url', 'web/unsecure/base_url');
   

2. Replace design/head/includes/

   UPDATE core_config_data 
   SET value = REPLACE(value, 'http://www.domain1.net/', 'http://www.domain2.net/') 
   WHERE path = 'design/head/includes';
   

Then changed Store Url

 php bin/magento setup:store-config:set --base-url="http://www.domain2.net/"

 php bin/magento setup:store-config:set --base-url-secure="https://www.domain2.net/"

Finally cleared the cache:

php bin/magento cache:flush

After serach www.domain2.net it throw server not found.

What is it the right way to change Base url in magento 2.1?

Answer 1

First update both the web/unsecure/base_url and web/secure/base_url URLs in core_config_data to http://www.domain2.net/ in your database, you can use the above query.

Then, clear the cache by the below command.

sudo rm -rf var/cache var/generation var/page_cache

Ensure you have updated your virtual host settings according to the new URL.

Once you set the applied the virtual host changes, restart the apache server.

Now, browse with the new URL.

in addition to Sukeshinis answer I would also check what domain the magento-cookies are set for. Search in core_config_data for %cookie% and remove all the rows or replace them with the new domain. Because if you don't change or don't delete these, then it could be that you will be redirected to your old domain. Wasted alot of minutes on that problem

Answer 3

In my case, I had to change the web/unsecure/base_link_url also:

UPDATE core_config_data
-> SET value = 'http://www.domain2.net/'
-> WHERE path IN ('web/unsecure/base_link_url');
