Hello!
My website is about to change the domain name. Can you please tell me what should I do to put my vanilla forum on the other domain name (or to subfolder of the new domain if possible)
Thank you!

I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
Are you moving domains? Or moving servers?
If you are moving domains only you rarely have to do anything. You might have the odd configuration here and there, no biggie.
grep is your friend.
Note if you don't do you own server rules, then some host will name space the domains in folders, in which case you would have to move it there and delete .ini files in cache. Otherwise you can just make sure the folder is served.
Do backups anyway.
