changing ipaddress and domain name of portal server.

Hello,

I need to change the ip address and domain name of the portal server. The

port numbers do not need to be changed. The gateway and server are on the

same system, running SP3.

What needs to be done to:

(a) reconfigure server and gateway to the new ip address?

(b) reconfigure server and gateway for the new domain name?

I have added to the Domain\Authentication\Domain URLs the new entries for

the ipaddress and domain name.

I have added to:

(i) Server Management\Manage Server Profile\Server List,

(ii) Server Management\Manage Server Profile\Gateway List,

(iii) Cookie Domain List,

the corrected urls and domain names.

I have edited platform.conf with the new ip address and domain names.

Restarted the server and gateway.

The result is for the new url, connecting with either ipadress or domain

name, is a blank page.

Are there additional steps? What are they?

Thanks,

Lawrence

These are the steps for changing domain name & IP address without reinstall

a) Stop the Gateway and Server .

b) Export the profile server database to a flat ldif file:

# /opt/netscape/directory4/slapd-host_name/db2ldif/temp/profile.ldif

c) Use awk, perl, or vi, to change every instance of the system domainname in the ldif file to that of the new system.

d) Import the edited ldif file into the profile server on the new machine:

# /opt/netscape/directory4/slapd-/ldif2db -i /temp/profile.ldif

e) edit etc/opt/SUNWips/platform.conf and change all the domain name & Ip address

f) edit /etc/opt/SUNWips/properties.file change the domain name

g) Start the platform server and gateway on the new machine.
