New domain name

Hey all,

Long story short, I had to get a new domain name, sucks! Anyway, my old domain is located all over my server. For instance:

Code:

root@pebkac:/etc/ssh# hostname
pebkac.mydomainInolongerhave.com

How do I go about changing that to reflect my new domain name???? I know there is more than 1 place it needs to be done also???

 

Well i think it's a classic pebkac ;-)

You could do a file content search for the string and edit those files.
Good luck!

 

Sounds like a lot of fun!

Try this:

Code:

          grep -R yourdomain.com /etc > results1.txt
          grep -R yourdomain.com /var/www > results2.txt

change each instance of yourolddomain.com to domain.com

To change your host name:

Code:

hostname yourdomain.com

edit your host file:

Code:

 vi /etc/hosts

Hope this helps

Anyone else have any ideas on this, and what I might expect with regards to problems by doing this?
