Step 1: Login to your cPanel account.

Step 2: Navigate to the section Files > File Manager menu.

Step 3: Navigate to the root folder of your Joomla installation, right-click on configuration.php and use 'Code Edit' option.

Step 4: Open the file and adjust its source code online. You will need to locate and edit the following line.

 public $live_site = '';

Step 5: Enter a new website URL in this line.

Step 6: In case the root folder of the installation was changed, you need to edit these lines as well:

 

public $log_path = '/home/user/public_html/joomla/administrator/logs';

public $tmp_path = '/home/user/public_html/joomla/tmp';

 

Step 7: Instead of the old path, enter the new one and hit Save button.
