Wordpress change domain for Option 22 installation

hello
i have already a wp installation using option 22 on centminmod ---example.com
and i want to change the domain to example2.com
could you please suggest what is the best way to change the domain ?

thank you

thank you
i have created another domain name (vhost) through option 2 and i rsync the files from the directory of my old-domain, plus i created a duplicate database and configured the new-domain to use this database.
i then run the wp search-replace command

almost everything worked fine, i have some problems with css but i think i have resolved them for now.
Do you see anything wrong with the procedure i followed? Am i missing something?

Also now that i want to redirect my old-domain to the new-domain i edited the file
/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/old-domain.com.conf and added on top

Code:

server {
          listen   80;
server_name old-domain.com www.old-domain.com;
return 301 $scheme://www.new-domain.com$request_uri;
       }

but my problem is that the redirect for the Old-domain.com - Ready For Development does not work

 

Code:

[root@hostname conf.d]# curl -I http://old-domain.com

these are the results with 302 with www and non-www
any ideas?

 

nop tried it , it is only on
/usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/old-domain.conf

 

some additional information in case it helps somehow
when i visit the

Code:

www.old-domain.com

i get the page of centminmod from here /usr/local/nginx/html


RESOLVED
i edited the server_name as follows

Code:

server_name .old-domain.com;

 

also another weird thing is that if i remove this line from the new-domain.com.conf file

Code:

 try_files /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$cache_uri/index.html $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;

then i get 404 in every page except home
please note that i use cdnenabler and not supercache, i had supercache and i removed it

 

Code:

server {
 
  server_name newdomain.com www.newdomain.com;

  access_log /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/log/access.log combined buffer=256k flush=60m;
  error_log /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/log/error.log;

  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/autoprotect/newdomain.com/autoprotect-newdomain.com.conf;
  root /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/503include-main.conf;

  # prevent access to ./directories and files
  location ~ (?:^|/)\. {
   deny all;
   
  } 

  location / {
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/503include-only.conf;
   
# for wordpress super cache plugin
  try_files /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$cache_uri/index.html $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;

    }
 
  location ~* /(wp-login\.php) {
    limit_req zone=xwplogin burst=1 nodelay;
   # limit_conn xwpconlimit 30;
    auth_basic "Private";
    auth_basic_user_file /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/htpasswd_wplogin;   
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php-wpsc.conf;
}

location ~* /(xmlrpc\.php) {
    limit_req zone=xwprpc burst=45 nodelay;
    #limit_conn xwpconlimit 30;
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php-wpsc.conf;
}


  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/wpsecure_newdomain.com.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/php-wpsc.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/drop.conf;
  #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/errorpage.conf;
  include /usr/local/nginx/conf/vts_server.conf;
}

i removed most lines which are commented for cleaner looks
