Change URL
If the website IP Address is changed due to a stop or start instance, the website is not accessible with the new IP Address. In this case, you will need to replace the old URL with the new URL to gain access.
Update config.php with the URL of the new server
$ sudo vi /var/www/html/moodle/config.php
// old
$CFG->wwwroot = 'https://44.199.255.208';
// new
$CFG->wwwroot = 'https://3.223.135.64';
Update links containing wwwroot in the database
cd /var/www/html/moodle
php admin/tool/replace/cli/replace.php --search=//oldsitehost --replace=//newsitehost
Example:)
$ sudo -u apache php admin/tool/replace/cli/replace.php --search=//44.199.255.208 --replace=//3.223.135.64
Several tables are not updated as part of the text replacement. These include configuration, log, events, and session tables.
This script should be considered experimental. Changes made cannot be reverted, thus a complete backup should be made before running the script!
