How to Move an OpenX Server
When you start a website, you might not choose the best option for a domain name the first time. If you use an OpenX server to power your advertising, you can move the server to a different domain at any time. Some of the steps will be slightly different, depending on the services that your Web host provides and the configuration of your OpenX server. However, the process is generally the same.

Log in to your site's administrative back-end and make sure that the server points to your new domain name. Your host might do this for you automatically.

Connect to your site via an FTP client or a file manager provided by your Web host, whichever is most convenient for you. Navigate to the "var" directory within your OpenX server files and locate the "olddomain.com.conf.php" file, where "olddomain" is the URL of your old domain. Right-click the file and select "Rename." Change "olddomain" to your new domain name.

Open every other file with "conf" in its name and change any instance of your old domain to the new domain. The number and names of these configuration files will vary depending on how you have previously used your OpenX server. Once all of the files point to the new domain, you are ready to use OpenX with your new domain name.
