Changing app from one domain to another

adebarros

Hi,

I currently have this setup in Opalstack:

Domain A: WordPress app
Domain B: Django app.

I'd like to swap apps/domains so that I have:

Domain A: Django app
Domain B: WordPress app.

Aside from making the change in the dashboard, is there anything else I should know or take into account?

You have the basics correct. Afterwards, the apps may need some configuration changes to take up the new domain.

Example:

Wordpress:
cd ~/apps/wordpress
wp option update home https://domainB.com
wp option update siteurl https://domainB.com

Django:
#Update the ALLOWED_HOSTS in your settings.py file
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['domainA.com', 'www.domainA.com']

Ref: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/settings/#allowed-hosts
https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/option/update/

NOTE: You will likely have to restart the Django app after making that change.

Example:

/home/shelluser/apps/myapp/stop
/home/shelluser/apps/myapp/start
