Changing domains

Hello,

I need to move all of my web pages from one domain to another domain on 
the same physical machine.  Does anyone know of any step-by-step 
instructions on how to do this?  I know the basic things that need to be 
done, but I'd like to plan this out carefully so I don't miss anything. 
 I'd like to have my web pages and email addresses on BOTH domains to be 
operational at the same time, in parallel, for about 6 months.

Thanks for any pointers you can provide!

Sincerely,

Brent

Actually, I need to do this on two machines, both are running FreeBSD; 
one is using the Besthttpd and the other is using the Apache httpd.

What operating system?

I would use tar...

cd ~/ftp
tar cf webpages.tar public_html
mv webpages.tar /tmp
chmod a+rw /tmp/webpages.tar

login other-me
cd ~/ftp
tar xvof /tmp/webpages.tar
rm /tmp/webpages.tar

[ forget the 'o' flag, and UR dead meat mon ]

Best of luck,

I'd use tar too, but in a slightly different way. This assumes your
old ftp dir and all files were world readable.

login as other-me

tar -cf - -C ~me/ftp . | (cd ~/ftp ; tar -xvf -)

note that you don't need the "o" flag.

I don't think the 'o' flag has any effect unless you're a superuser.
I would use the 'p' flag to retain file/dir permissions.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear about what I want to do...  

I have two machines with lots of web pages, graphics, sound files, etc. 
 I need to change to a new domain.  I don't want to duplicate all of my 
files unless I absolutely need to, since I'd have to purchase another 
disk drive.  Can I achieve this by using symbolic links or something 
like that?  I need to have both domains accessible at the same time for 
about six months and I don't want to have to maintain both sets of pages 
if at all possible.

Not to make it even more complex, but I also need to send and receive 
email at both domains...

OS is FreeBSD.  One machine uses the Besthttpd and the other machine 
uses the Apache httpd.

Thanks,

Brent

I'm not sure about how to set up the IP addresses on FreeBSD, but to set
up the Apache server you don't have to duplicate the files.

<VirtualHost www.domain1.com>
ServerAdmin you@domain1.com
DocumentRoot /a/b/c/apache/htdocs
ServerName www.domain1.com
ErrorLog logs/errors_log
TransferLog logs/access_log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost www.domain2.com>
ServerAdmin you@domain2.com
DocumentRoot /a/b/c/apache/htdocs
ServerName www.domain2.com
ErrorLog logs/errors_log
TransferLog logs/access_log
</VirtualHost>

If FreeBSD is like Solaris, you just have to set up the machine to answer
to both IP addresses and configure your mail alias file and take care of
DNS.  I'm not sure about the exact syntax.

I may need to do the same thing in the near future but with an account on
the Best server instead of a separate system. Could the solutions
suggested for the above problem be used by Best to allow two domain names
to access the same account?

ONLY if the two user's ID numbers are the same.

Try it.

Great, I'll give it a try.  Thanks very much!

Matt Dillon: can you please comment on whether or not this will work for 
the Best httpd?

Thanks again!

My counter page (www.computerrific.com/cory/) creates an archive of
one dir and five files.  This tar file is created by user 'nobody'.

When the tar file is extracted without the 'p' flag, the resulting
permissions are at the mercy of the users umask.

Try it.  :)

This is getting silly.
I'm not talking about the umask and file modes.
I have an SGI at home, and another at work.
If I take a tape to work, and forget the owner flag for tar, the
OWNERSHIP of the extracted file is owned by root, as my login ID number 
there is not the same as at home, and defaults ownership to root.

ENUF!  Whatever.  I'll not bother trying to help anyone again.

End of line.

Could this be a "problem" with the tars that are on shellx?
/usr/local/bin/tar is the gnu tar and /sbin/tar is the SGI.  Does the
bahvious differ between the two.  I remember whenI was switching
between Berkeley and System V tars before V.4 came out that the system
V tar did things that I *really* didn't want to happen.
