Change your site's domain name

To change the domain name of your site, you must change the name in the file system, the database, and any integrated applications. TeamForge provides a script for each of these.

1. Make sure your site's database and file system are backed up.
2. In the site-options.conf file, update the domain name (and hostname if needed), then save the file.

   DOMAIN_<Host_Name>=<Domain_Name>
   JAMES_POSTMASTER_EMAIL=root@<Domain_Name>
   JAMES_MTA_HOST=<Domain_Name> 

   For example:

   DOMAIN_mybox.supervillain.net=www.smileyface.com
   JAMES_POSTMASTER_EMAIL=root@www.smileyface.com
   JAMES_MTA_HOST=www.smileyface.com

3. Go to the TeamForge scripts directory.
   • cd /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/scripts/
4. Run the script to change the domain in the file system.
   • ./domain_change_fs.pl --old=www.myoldsitename.net --new=www.mynewsitename.net > /tmp/domain_change_fs.out 2>&1
5. Run the script to change the domain in the database.
   • ./domain_change_db.pl --old=www.myoldsitename.net --new=www.mynewsitename.net > /tmp/domain_change_db.out 2>&1
6. If your site has Project Tracker integrated, run the script to change the domain in Project Tracker.
   • ./domain_change_pt.py --oldDomain=www.myoldsitename.net --newDomain=www.mynewsitename.net > /tmp/domain_change_pt.out 2> &1
