+title: Gitlab Change BaseURL in Database
+-->
+
+## Change URL
+
+After a migration changing the base url in the configuration is not enough. It must also be changed in the database.
+
+* Adjust the variable `external_url` in the file `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and run `gitlab-ctl reconfigure`
+* Adjust the canonical URL in the database:
+  ```
+  gitlab-rails console
+  ApplicationSetting.current.update!(home_page_url: 'https://neue-url.example.com')
+  ApplicationSetting.current.update!(after_sign_out_path: 'https://neue-url.example.com')
+  ```
+* Reading out a value from the ApplicationSetting via the gitlab-rails console is done using
+  ```
+  ApplicationSetting.current.home_page_url
+  ```
+* Clear the internal cache:
+  ```
+  gitlab-rake cache:clear
+  ```
+
+
