Changing IP of the Host that contains the board

[Reinhold Uhrmacher]

Hi there,

 

we are trying to upgrade from 3.4.8 to 4.4.10.

I set up a test virtual machine with a board, and followed this instruction:

The new virtual host had the IP 192.168.160.132. For some reason I had to change the IP of the host and I picked 192.168.1.132

I then followed theses steps again, changing also the ip in conf_global.php:

1. Open your conf_global.php file, which can be found at the root of your installations folder on the new server. In here you will need to edit the mysql username, password, and database name, to match the new database you have set up and restored to.
2. Log into your admin control panel and run through the support tools by visiting System>Support>Support, and selecting "something isnt working correctly". You will need to select next only until it states cache has been cleared.

Most things are fine, except, that some pages still try to access the old ip.

Tried to find out, where the old IP is still in files in the filesystem, and this is what I got:

# find . -type f -exec fgrep -l '160.132' {} \;

Did I miss something in the process?

You should be able to delete the /datastore folder and run the support tool again. That should fix it iirc.

@AlexWright

Thank you for your answer. Meanwhile I deleted the Menu completely an playing around with it. So the old pages should be gone anyway.

Will try again one of these days... Will be in the situation anyways when I update the live-board.
