domain_change

The domain_change_db.py script handles all the steps required to change the domain name in the site database. It does not change anything in the file system.

Note: Changing the domain through any other mechanism may cause problems.

Usage

Execute this script with a command like this:

[RUNTIME_DIR]/domain_change_db.py [--debug] [--dir] --old={domain_name} --new={domain_name}

Note: The new domain name must match the value defined for the DOMAIN token in the site-options.conf file.

Options

The domain_change_db.py script provides the following parameters:

--help: Show this message
--debug: Include debugging output
--old: Old domain
--new: New domain
--dir: Run domain change in this directory only. You must specify the full path.
Use this feature to do a subset of the data directory. This instructs the script to do a recurse in the specified directory looking for the old domain_name and replacing it with the new domain_name. .

Note: Without this option, only HTML, text, and VM files are modified.
--threadlimit: Defines the maximum number of simultaneous threads that can be invoked by this program. The default value is '50'
