Taking a Plone site live

[mhaggerty]

Cheers,
I'm a newby using Plone to support a university project in New Zealand. I've successfully got Plone running on our research centre's server, changed the logo and a few graphics, added content and now have a site that's ready to go live.
I've also reserved a domain name, but don't know how to link my plone site to the domain name.
I tried to search these forums, but I'm not finding anything. Probably because I don't know the right search terms...
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

You'll want to put Apache in front of Plone, for security and convenience. Apache will run on port 80, and redirect your domain name to the "real" Zope/Plone location (something like localhost:8080/Plone). There's a lot of good info on the Plone site about how to do this.

If you've put internal links into your site, you may need to change them to domain links, or use something like ../../../thisfolder/thiscontent, which will work regardless of the domain name.

Take #2:

Your domain name will need to point to the public IP address of the host server. This may require adding or changing an A record.

This depends on how you got your domain name.
If you have a domain name and an IP address from a registrar, then you have to use that IP address for your host server.
If you have registered for domain name only, you will have to rely on your DNS servers to route traffic to your machine.
But, before doing all that, I'd recommend you contact the IT admin of your research center/University.
