Problem: My articles have the right urls: for example, newsite.com/article. However, by clicking an article I get an empty article. I can see my sidebar.
I moved my Joomla installation to a different folder in my server. I want to change my domain from OldSite.com to NewSite.com.
I am not sure whether I need to change the database or not too.
My recent configuration.php at NewSite.com which was moved from OldSite.com.

I put comments to the above code to indicates rows which I changed after I moved the installation folder.
