Hello, I have a client whereby we are doing a site redesign and transferring content from Joomla to Wordpress. We are unable to utilize the domain until the last moment, so I did a fresh single wp install @ a dedicated ip address on our VPS. Everything went fine, but I realized afterwards there me be a potential issue when we go to propigate to domain name. (eg, database, permalinks...)
Anyone have any experience with this? And if so advice on how-to manage effectively?
Thanks in advance,
Lance

Hi Lance,
I wouldn't think that would be an issue at all, I believe WordPress stores that information in wp-config.php as well as the database. It's rather straightforward editing wp-config.php and in the database it is possible to do search/replaces rather easily using phpMyAdmin.

@Lance,
And a second perspective:
Just so you know - I think it is jumpbox ( http://www.jumpbox.com ) - they install to ip address and use the wp-config.php as DavidM mentioned. Wordpress looks to wp-config.php first, before going into the database. So if you make the necessary changes there I don't think you're going to have any issues.
The link DavidM provided is all you really got to know.

Just in case you haven't already seen it, the following page from the codex goes through migration concenrs.

I'll ask a couple of other guys over here if they can think of any issues that might need to be considered too.
Cheers,
David
