Change primary Domain

[g4marc]

Hi,
my customer has two domains, one of it is a alias-domain.
he wants to set this alias to his primary domain, so how can i change it?
i tryed it with deleting the alias, but i can't find the "button" for changing the primary domain?

have i to delete the complete abonnement and reistall all files and databases?
i know, that i have to change some paths in files, but it would be easyer, than to dump everything and upload again...

thx for help

I always do the following if I want to switch primary domain and alias:

• rename the alias to alias.old
• rename the primary domain to the alias (you can do that in the hosting settings of the domain)
• rename the alias to the primary domein

i don't have a option to do this. See Screenshot

You should not go to 'Change hosting settings' but first to Websites & Domains and then 'Hosting Settings' next to the domain (not Web Hosting Access).
