Can someone point me to > some documentation that does that type migration? TIA. You don't "name" (or rename) the server. You update the DNS server to use the new server's IP address for the old hostname. How you update the DNS server greatly depends on exactly what sort of access you have to the DNS server. It also depends on what level of access you have to the server(s). Are these VPSs? Physical server boxes? Are you just swapping physical hardware? If you are swapping *physical hardware*, then you could, once the files are copied and everything is working (eg you have tested things as newserver.domain.com), you could shutdown the original oldserver.domain.com, and then reconfigure newserver.domain.com's IP address to be what oldserver.domain.com was. In that case, there is no need to mess with the DNS server. (You might need to mess with a DHCP server, depending on how IP addresses are set up.) In order to point you in the right direction, you need to tell us more... > > Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > > iF0EARECAB0WIQTebsbo9TQsIuOkbg/9+JZipna1VAUCXkMDmAAKCRD9+JZipna1 > VGajAKDxxI26C50i0+eKII1m8vtNZeuBowCdEXAqTWrPLMx742cnqMIdBBfKYc4= > =5/6h > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > MIME-Version: 1.0 > > ------------------------------------------------------ > Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users > Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 > Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 > Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ > Unsubscribe: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/heller%40deepsoft.com > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Cell: 413-658-7953 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services hel...@deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
