change home domain

[wijszman]

Thanks for the info, I'll try changing some stuff over the weekend. Will report back here with results

[wijszman]

I just finished changing the domain name, and it actually works

Here's what I did:

/etc/dhcp
dhcpd.conf
change domain entries to new domain (3 entries)

in Mysql (use phpmyadmin):
database hda_production , table settings
change domain to new domain

/etc/httpd/conf.d
change domain entries to new domain
You can do this automated, go to the conf.d directory, create this script, give it execute rights and run it. It wil create backup files automatically.

for fl in *.conf; do
mv $fl $fl.bak
sed 's/old_domain/new_domain/g' $fl.bak > $fl
done


Also change the domain in the following files

./openvpn/amahi-dup-cn.conf.off
./openvpn/amahi.conf
./samba/lmhosts
./samba/lmhosts
./samba/smb.conf

After this restart the server, reboot oher pc's too, so they get the fresh domain binding.
Possibly you'd have to refresh the DNS of your PC's for it to take effect, I had to wait a
couple of minutes before the amahi subdomains were working.

Mind you, I only have a few apps running (see earlier this thread). So your results may vary.

Would it be possible to add this to the wiki? It would be nice to have detailed documentation there.

There also needs to be a disclaimer that this could break the HDA if not done correctly. This is obviously not the optimal way to change things.

Might consider submitting a suggestion for this to be scripted for future Amahi release.

[wijszman]

I definetely consider this a homebrew solution. I think the Amahi development team can say more about this being the right way to do things.
Automating the steps won't be a problem, feel free to use my info for wiki/doc purposes.

I will also have to work through some of this myself next week while home.

/etc/dhcp
dhcpd.conf
change domain entries to new domain (3 entries)

The dhcpd.conf is generated by hdactl from the database, you did not need to change this.

in Mysql (use phpmyadmin):
database hda_production , table settings
change domain to new domain

This is the main change.

/etc/httpd/conf.d
change domain entries to new domain
You can do this automated, go to the conf.d directory, create this script, give it execute rights and run it. It wil create backup files automatically.

Code: Select all

for fl in *.conf; do mv $fl $fl.bak sed 's/old_domain/new_domain/g' $fl.bak > $fl done

Thanks. Add the cd /etc/httpd/conf.d so it can be a supplied script.

Also change the domain in the following files

./openvpn/amahi-dup-cn.conf.off
./openvpn/amahi.conf
./samba/lmhosts
./samba/lmhosts
./samba/smb.conf

smb.conf is built by hdactl from the database. You listed lmhosts twice above, should it be something else?

You left off /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network; /etc/resolv.conf is built by hdactl.

After this restart the server, reboot oher pc's too, so they get the fresh domain binding.
Possibly you'd have to refresh the DNS of your PC's for it to take effect, I had to wait a

Thanks!

The double SMB file is my typo.
Basically what I did is this:

Code: Select all

egrep 'myolddomain' ./* -R

in the /etc folder. That's how i got those files that needed to be changed.
If you run the above you'll get a whole load of apache logs too, so it's handy to first clear the /var/log/httpd directory before doing the egrep

I didn't list hosts and network because in my case they don't contain the domain name, but it could be for others.
