We need to change the hostname of our DSpace server. I'm the operating systems 
guy at our site (not a DSpace expert), assisting the DSpace administrator in 
this task. I've searched extensively for a procedure or checklist for doing 
this, but surprisingly have found nothing of substance.

Through file system inspection, I perceive that the following physical elements 
have to change:
- Apache: httpd.conf: ServerName
- DSpace:
   dspace.cfg: dspace.hostname, email addresses, authentication.shib.logout-url
   dspace/handle-server/contactdata.dct: contact_email, org_name, contact_name
- Shibboleth server: Add new hostname

But that's just what I've found by file system trawling. I may well have missed 
something; and I have no idea if there are any logical changes which need to be 
made in the DSpace repository (Handle system?) or elsewhere. If anyone has had 
experience with a DSpace hostname change, I would appreciate input.

(In technology specifics: The server has a physical hostname which will not 
change, but public access is via a DNS Cname (alias) which will change.)

thanks,
 Richard Sims, Boston University
