How to configure osCommerce to work with a new domain?

In order to configure osCommerce to work properly with another domain, you should modify the two configure.php files in includes/ and admin/includes/ folders to reflect the new domain.
The settings that should be changed in includes/configure.php are:
HTTP_SERVER – you should change this to your new domain name, e.g. http://newdomain.com:
define(‘HTTP_SERVER’, ‘http://newdomain.com’);
HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN – again, this should be changed to reflect your new domain name:
define(‘HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘newdomain.com’);
If you are using SSL you should also modify:
HTTPS_SERVER – for example:
define(‘HTTPS_SERVER’, ‘https://newdomain.com’);
HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN – set this to:
define(‘HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘newdomain.com’);
In admin/includes/configure.php you should modify:
HTTP_SERVER – you should change this to your new domain name, e.g. http://newdomain.com:
define(‘HTTP_SERVER’, ‘http://newdomain.com’);
HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER – again, this should be changed to your new domain name:
define(‘HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER’, ‘http://newdomain.com’);
If you are using SSL, you should also change HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER to:
define(‘HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER’, ‘https://newdomain.com’);
