Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers ReDirecting a URL to another URL - Linux Post 302292354 by treesloth on Friday 27th of February 2009 04:19:47 PM

That's done largely outside the server. The biggest step is actually getting the URLs to point to the correct IP address. That's a DNS thing, and is probably somewhat outside the scope of this site. To summarize, though, change the IP address for the "production" address to whatever the addy for the new server is. Then, the message is at least getting to the right doorstep, so to speak. Then, make sure that the old URL is listed as an alias in the http.conf (or whatever the control file is for whatever http server you're using).

As a matter of communicating clearly with your site visitors, I'd also suggest looking up how to 1) rewrite the old to the new one in the user's browser and 2) make sure that the site clearly advertises the change.

NAME
dokuwiki-addsite - Create a new site driven by DokuWiki SYNOPSIS
dokuwiki-addsite {SITE_NAME} DESCRIPTION
DokuWiki is a standards compliant, simple to use wiki mainly aimed at creating documentation of any kind. dokuwiki-addsite creates the file hierarchy and configuration required to define a new site driven by the installed DokuWiki engine. OPTIONS
SITE_NAME Name of the site to create. For a virtual host-based setup, it reflects the corresponding hostname. For instance, for a site accessible at an address such as http://wiki.project.example.com:8080/foo/bar/, it can be either project.example.com, wiki.project.example.com, wiki.project.example.com.foo.bar or even 8080.wiki.project.example.com.foo.bar. For a directory or htaccess-based setup, this is the corresponding site identifier. For instance, for a site accessible at an address such as http://wiki.example.com/project/, rewritten by the web server as doku.php?animal=project, it is simply project. NOTES
The site configuration is stored in /etc/dokuwiki/farm/SITE_NAME/, and the data is stored in /var/lib/dokuwiki/farm/SITE_NAME/, as indicated in the site configuration. In a virtual host-based setup, if you need to make a given site accessible at several URLs, you can symlink its configuration directory to another name (it is not necessary to symlink the data directory). If you need to rename a site, you can rename the configuration and data directories, and edit the configuration to point to the new data directory. BUGS
No check is done against the SITE_NAME, just avoid names like ../../../etc. Please report any bug to the Debian BTS. SEE ALSO
