Hi Robert,
Depending on your setup, there are a few ways this can be done. One way is to follow the steps in this support article - https://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/move_servers.php
If you are only changing the domain name and not servers, you may have an option to just change the domain name and not move anything at all. I often build websites on a live development domain and when the website is approved by the client, we swap out the development domain with their domain name (after pointing the domain name to our servers, of course).

I have done what the information on moving
I am wanting to move the cms to a new domain
I get this error when i try to get in to the admin.php file
Error: Upload directory doesn't exist, please create it and reload this page:
/home1/rick123/public_html/cmsAdmin/uploads
or manually update the 'uploadDir' value to 'uploads/' in: /data/settings.dat.php

Hi Robert,
The program is looking for a required folder at /home1/rick123/public_html/cmsAdmin/uploads
The folder "uploads" is usually there by default, but if it's missing you'll have to create it at that location. Once the folder is there, it should allow you to get into the admin section.

Hi Robert,
Do you have an /uploads/ folder under /cmsAdmin/? That's the first thing to check. If you don't have that try creating one.
If that doesn't fix it, edit the settings file in /data/ and change the path for uploadDir to match your new servers path.
Hope that helps!

Hi Robert,
Usually that is caused by server configuration problems, but if you can fill out a 2nd level support request I'll take a look for you:
