When changing a Mahara installation over to a new hostname, the following steps are required to a) update the hostname setting, and b) re-generate the system's public key.
If you let Mahara auto-detect the wwwroot:
- Run the following SQL queries on the database. Remember to take a full dump of your database in case anything goes wrong!
- delete from config where field = 'wwwroot';
- delete from config where field like '%openssl%';
- Log in as an administrator and go to "Site Administration -> Configure Site -> Networking" to re-generate the public key.
If you have set wwwroot in config.php manually:
- Update $cfg->wwwroot in config.php to the new address.
- Run the following SQL queries on the Mahara database. Remember to take a full dump of your database in case anything goes wrong!
- delete from config where field = 'wwwroot';
- delete from config where field like '%openssl%';
- Log in as an administrator and go to "Site Administration -> Configure Site -> Networking" to re-generate the public key.
The 'config' table name in the above SQL statements may vary if you have a dbprefix set.
Note that any networked peers such as Moodle would also need to have their configuration updated to contain the new Mahara hostname and public key.
